LEICA
THE CLASSIC 35MM STILL CAMERA
PICK UP AN M-3 OR AN M-2 AT YOUR LEICA
DEALER. You'll do a double-take as you react to
the. famous Léica “feel.” It's a legend among
3 generations of photographers... the magic of
Leica design that makes it a “perfect fit’ for
combined action of hand, brain and eye. And...
as you try it, you'll see why its rangefinder is
accepted as the fastest and most preciSe, even
in lowest light levels where others fail. Yet, in
just 10. seconds (with Visoflex II) the same
Leica camera Decomes the most accurate
eye-level reflex made. A test focus in every
lens range will show you why Leica is the
world’s most versatile 35mm camera for
every kind of picture.:.from extreme close-up
through tetephoto.
AKE.
LEICINA
FULLY ELECTROMATIC 8MM MOVIE CAMERA
PICK UP A NEW LHICINA. You'll discover that
the Leica “feel” now has a double meaning as
it takes its place in 8mm moviemaking. Exclu-
sive 3-POINT RIGIDITY makes Leicina the first to
overcome hand-held camera movement. (Without
this steadiness, the finest features of any cam
era can't produce needle-sharp movies.) The
gadget-free exterior fits snugly in your palm;
eyepiece below permits forehead brace above.
Pushbutton away from the camera body in fold-
down handle eliminates jarring when you press.
It's always ready for action at the touch of a
button. From the whispering whirr of its elec-
tric motor drive to the discretely built-in auto-
matic exposure control, Leicina is a new kind of
movie camera that’s built today, for tomorrow.

Coffee Break
WITH THE EDITORS
THIS MONTH'S COVER «+ « °
Since we just couldn’t fit all 286 used
cameras and 228 new ones on this
month’s cover, we selected a few repre-
sentative of the scope of our 7th
Annual Buying Guide and shipped them
off to the studio of Leonard Balish
who arranged and photographed the
still life. Little ones, big ones, from
ultraminiature to 4 x 5 view, you'll
find them all covered in detail in the
Used Camera Buying Guide, page 66,
and in the expanded and enlarged New
Camera Guide, page 99, which has been
organized in chart form for your con-
venience in comparing different fea-
tures.
ONE MINUTE, SECOND ROUND « = °
In the August “Coffee Break’ we
ran an item on an old camera that pro-
duced finished prints in one minute,
and we asked readers.if they could give
us any further information. Although
the camera dated back to World War I
or so, we received a surprisingly large
number of letters from readers who
had seen, handled, owned, or even still
owned the One-Minute Camera.
The reader who still has a model is
E. D. Gardner, of Devon, Montana.
“They were somewhat optimistic in
giving the weight as only 40 oz.,” he
says, “as mine without developing
liquid or tripod tips the scale at 74
Ibs. It measures 14% x 7% x 10 in. Its
construction is of wood, leatherette-
covered and with nickel-finished trim.
“The instruction booklet lists three
models—A, B and C (mine is aC). All
are similar except that models B and
C were furnished with an extra snap-on
‘group and landscape lens’ and were so
constructed that a special attachment
for making lapel button pictures could
be had as an extra.
“The standard lens is of the fixed-
focus type with a range of 4 to 8 ft.
The shutter is of two-leaf construc-
tion and bulb operated.”
Instead of describing the camera’s
operation, Mr. Gardner sent us a pic-
ture of the instruction sheet and
diagram (right). He adds that, since
it’s a one-minute camera, “it seemed
proper to use a Polaroid to take this
picture.”
Orville M. Broadrick, of Manhattan,
Iil., who owned one of the first models,
and Ed Abbott, of Monticello, Ky., who
handled one belonging to his brother
in 1917-18, both fill in some details of
the camera’s operation. Says Mr.
Abbott: “There was a black lightproof
sleeve attached to the back, with
elastic to close the opening through
which the hand and box of paper were
inserted. A quantity of paper was then
removed from the box and placed in a
rack with the sensitized side facing
the rear of the lens.”’ Taking the pro-
cedure over from there, Mr. Broadrick
says: “After a picture was exposed,
the hand was inserted in the sleeve and
the card next to the lens was removed
and dropped through a slot in the
bottom of the camera, into the tank
containing the developer. After a
minute the picture was removed and
rinsed in water. As simple as that.”
However, John B. Newlin, of Craw-
fordsville,. Ind., didn’t find it at all
simple. He was only 10 years old at
the time—1917 or 18—but he’d spent
the summer helping a local photogra-
pher print postcard views and “I was,
in short, an Authority.” The One-
Minute Camera belonged to his cousin,
who “had never been able to get a
picture out of the thing, so she pulled
it out for my advice.
“My expert rating went down to zero
almost instantly. Neither of the ac-
companying bottles was clearly labeled

and instructions were sketchy. We
certainly didn’t get anything like a
usable picture out of it in a summer
afternoon of experimenting.
“A few years later I saw the thing
again, but by then the only salvage-
able part was the tripod. It was sturdy,
of the old wood type, and not over five
or six years ago I finally used it for
kindling.”
To end on a somewhat less gloomy
note, let’s go back to Mr. Gardner,
whose One-Minute Camera is still in

photography
Even beyond its role as an art form, a news-gathering medium,
a personal record of people and places—photography is a tool.
And the Nikon F automatic reflex has become an invaluable aid
to science, to industry, to education, and to countless other en-
deavors which make up the fabric of progress in our modern
society and technology. For it is in this realm that
the Nikon F reveals its fullest capabilities.
The Nikon F commands a complement of more
than twenty interchangeable lenses upon which
it can draw to meet the most critical and most
unusual picture problems. And it is further imple-
mented by an almost endless variety of accessory
aids to fit it for photo micrography, macro and
telescopic photography, and for every conceiv-
exemplifies the almost unlimited versatility of the Nikon F
able close-up and copy requirement. The scope and versatility
of the Nikon F automatic reflex are virtually unlimited. Its pic-
ture capabilities extend from the infinitesimal to the infinite.
A battery-operated motor drive can be used for completely auto-
matic operation—in-hand or remote, wired or by radio control.
Any impulse can be used to fire the motor-equipped
Nikon F, and any phenomenon can be used to
originate the impulse. Rapid sequences, time-
lapse and motion studies, automatic surveillance,
data documentation—are a few of the more obvi-
ous applications. If you have a photographic prob-
lem you consider especially challenging, let us
show you how capably it can be handled with the
Nikon F. For further details, write to Dept. MP12

he concludes, “if there was a present-
day source of supply for the cards, as,
with modification of the shutter, the
old clunker would take fair pictures.”
NEW WAVE « = °
Mr. Taka Amatzia, a heretofore un-
known photographer, recently exhib-
ited some of his work at the Lion’s
Head coffee house in Greenwich Vil-
lage. The Matziagrams, as_ their
creator calls them, are the result of
a revolutionary new process. Taka
Amatzia’s manifesto declares: ‘The
creative photographer is too often
A staggering new art form?
hampered in his work by purely tech-
nical matters. Between him and his
image come such things as cameras,
lenses, shutters. . . . In order to reduce
photography to its barest essentials
. .. Taka Amatzia has invented his
already postmortemistical Matzia-
gram process... . He will not divulge
the fine technique by which they were
made for fear of antagonizing the
U.S. Society of Photographic Scien-
tists and Engineers and the Japanese
Dragonyabahand Art, Marching and
Chowder Society. He hopes to further
perfect the Matziagram process to
eliminate the use of photographic film
and paper.”
The Matziagrams, which looked like
Rorschachian ink-blots, were priced at
$100 each, and of the 15 on exhibition,
we noticed several that resembled
bulls and one which could only be a
shaggy dog. As you have probably
guessed by now, the whole exhibit was
a joke—the Matziagrams were made
by splattering chemicals on photo-
graphic paper, and the mysterious
Taka Amatzia is none other than
MODERN’s mischievous Color Consult-
ant, Norman Rothschild.
THE NOSE TEST + « °
When our picture editor Pat Caul-
field started to try out a certain new
camera for ‘““Modern Tests,”’ she found
that she was allergic to the pungent
smell of its leather finish, developed
a nose itch and headache, and had to
pass the camera on to another editor
who was unaffected. Since this incident
(the first that Pat had experienced in
the handling of many many cameras),
MODERN’s editors have been carefully
sniffing the leather on new camera
bodies and carrying cases. So far no
one else has suffered from the Caul-
field Allergy, but we wonder whether
we should extend our “Modern Tests”
reports to include such comments as:
“This camera’s faint scent of tur-
pentine with lavender overtones ap-
pealed to both men and women on
MODERN’s staff”... or:
“While the woodsmoke smell of this
camera is extremely pleasant, candid
photographers should be warned that
it is strong enough to attract attention
up to a distance of several yards.”
ON HIS LAST LEGS «+ * +
Associate editor Dave Miller bought
a Davidson Mark III tripod, which has
one removable leg for use as a unipod.
An editorial assistant had a fractured
foot. Dave gallantly removed the uni-
pod and lent it to her as a walking
stick. She lost the unipod. Dave is left
with a bipod. He’s still trying to find
some use for it.—-THE END

by JOHN WOLBARST
Does it pay to modernize your old-
model Polaroid Land camera? Here
are some things you should know.
Recently a
reader wrote me
to the effect that
he had an old
Model 95 Polar-
oid camera (the
first type to be
marketed in 1948)
and wanted to
bring it up to date
so it could do all
the wonderful things that the latest
models were capable of. He wanted to
know if there was some repairman or
service that could do this moderniza-
tion job for him.
My answer to him was that Polaroid
Corp. does provide such a service, but
that it would be a waste of money to
attempt to modernize a Model 95.
There is no reasonable way to con-
vert or modernize any of the older
models with manually operated expo-
sure controls so it can match the per-
formance of one of the fine new elec-
tric eye models, such as the 900 or 850.
Besides, the electric eye shutter is not
the only big difference between the
new and older models. The 900, for
example, has a really outstanding
combined range-viewfinder system
which cannot be installed on any of
the older models. And there are other
items, too.
Some desirable improvements
Nevertheless, if you now have and
use successfully a Polaroid Land cam-
era of any type except Model 95, you
can make some improvements at very
moderate cost which will add immeas-
urably to your convenience and picture
taking pleasure. Not all these im-
provements are possible with all the
models, nor do I consider that all the
conversions which Polaroid Corp. can
do ought to be done. Therefore, I have
selected a few which I’d recommend.
In each case I'll list the models to
which the modification applies.
New type back door: Very worth-
while. Frequently, the damp negative
left in the camera after you remove a
print will stick to the inside of the back
door. Then a week later when you try
to pull the tab to develop a picture
nothing will budge. The new door has
a number of small points on the inside
which hold the film in proper position
but can’t stick to the negative. Models
95A, 95B, 100, 150, 700, 800, 110A,
80A, $1.75; Model 110, $2.75.
Locking cutter bar: This is one of
the best things that ever happened to
the Polaroid camera. The cutter bar
locks automatically when it’s closed,
so you don’t have to hold it down in
order to tear off the paper film tab.
To add this feature to your old camera
it’s necessary to replace the entire
outer back as a unit. Unfortunately,
this can’t be done with the Model 110
(and 700) because the rangefinder
housing interferes. Models 95A, 95B,
100, 150, 800, 110A (some 110A cam-
eras already have this), $12.50.
Drop-in loading for Model 110: Some
of the early 110’s were equipped with
spring clips into which you had to
push the ends of the negative spool
when loading film. In the conversion,
the clips are removed and the film
chamber is revamped so that the nega-
tive roll fits into a simple chamber, as
in all later models. This improvement
is very important and well worth the
price, $2.50.
How to go about it
There are at least two procedures
you can follow in order to get your
camera modified. One way is to visit
your local camera store (a Polaroid
dealer, no doubt) and arrange for the
store to handle the entire transaction.
If you’re a steady customer and the
dealer likes your trade he’ll probably
be willing to cooperate in this manner.
Or, you can send the camera to
Polaroid Corp. yourself. Before you
start mailing it off I suggest that you
first write to Customer Service, Polar-
oid Corp., Cambridge 39, Mass., and
explain what you want to do. Customer
Service will send you detailed instruc-
tions for packing and mailing. I believe
that if you ask for one they will even
send you an empty box specially de-
signed for shipping Polaroid cameras,
which will simplify your mailing
problem considerably. Remember,
write to Customer Service first.
What about the old Model 95? Well,
as I pointed out earlier, I don’t think
it makes sense to spend money on such
an old box in order to bring it up to
date, particularly when used later
model Polaroid cameras are available
at very reasonable prices. For a guide
to buying a used Polaroid camera, I
suggest you look at my May 1961
column in MODERN.—THE END

To get everything in the script, you have to get a Bolex
Hollywood effects and award-winning qual-
ity are no longer the personal possessions
of “the professional”. . .
For now you can get lap dissolves, fades,
titles, speed-ups, animation, wide-angle vis-
tas, telephoto close-ups, zooms—everything
in the “script” —with a Bolex H-16 Rex and
accessories.
Your results are truly professional. You
view and focus through the shooting lens
for uninterrupted viewing, exact framing,
accurate focusing. Parallax is ended forever!
Then there’s Bolex’s new variable shut-
ter. It gives you more control over exposure,
sharpens fast-action subjects, and blurs dis-
tracting backgrounds. It puts fades at your
fingertips, makes lap dissolves smooth and
easy. (For automatic fades and perfect lap
dissolves, try a Bolex Rexofader. It times
fades for pre-set number of frames.)
With all its professional features, Bolex’s
H-16 Rex is only $450 with a superb Lytar
F/1.8 lens. Bolex accessories are also mod-
erately priced—the Rexofader, for example,
is just $37.50. For detailed literature write
Dept.BMP12 or see your Bolex dealer for
complete information.

WHEN, WHERE & HOW T0
CHECK A USED CAMERA
THE STORE CHECKS
A used camera’s general overall appearance may indicate much about its
hidden or disguised flaws. Body dents which indicate that the camera had been
dropped or severely jarred may mean that the lens elements could have been
jarred loose, or that the camera’s rangefinder, or in the case of reflexes, its
mirror, is out of alignment. Also look for leather coverings which are obviously
repainted to camouflage dents. If you're satisfied with overall appearance, then
check the following:
(A) LENS: Remove it, otherwise set camera shutter on B or T and open shutter
and camera back. Check lens for loose or cracked elements, peeled off coat-
ing dirty interior and rusty, bent or faulty diaphragm. Place lens at its closest
focusing distance and rock it in its mount—look for excessive play.
(B) VIEWING AND FOCUSING: Examine entire viewing system for cleanliness.
if rangefinder, make sure images coincide both horizontally and vertically. If
reflex, check ground glass in low light for acceptable overall viewing and focus-
ing brightness. Focus on object at infinity (a distant building outside store),
and see if focus arrow aligns properly with infinity mark.
(C) SHUTTER: Operate at all shutter speeds listening for any unusual noises
and evidence of sticking. Pay special attention to speeds slower than 1/15
second.
(D) INTERIOR: Look for rust, and excessive scratches—pay particular atten-
tion to the pressure plate. The sprockets and film guide should not be rough.
Check for loose parts and signs of do-it-yourself tampering, such as worn screw
heads, bent parts, etc. If the camera has a cloth focal-plane shutter, aim the
lens at a light source and look for pin holes in the shutter when in the cocked
and released positions.
(E) MOVING PARTS: Operate all moving parts to see if they are neither too
stiff (causing excessive wear) or too loose (causing inaccurate alignment). Run
an unwanted roll of film through the camera to make sure that the film trans-
port, frame counter and rewind mechanisms are functioning properly.
TESTS TO MAKE AT HOME
If results of the store checks are satisfactory, there’s a good chance that
the camera is in good working order. However, since there is a possibility that
it’s not, ask the dealer for a trial period, and then perform the following prac-
tical tests at home. For these tests, use a film such as Panatomic X or Plus X
Pan, tripod and cable release. Use a reliable exposure meter to determine read-
ings. For evaluation purposes, either make 10X enlargements (with a known
fine quality enlarger and lens) or examine the negatives with a 10X to 20X
magnifier.
(A) SHARPNESS AND COVERAGE: Photograph a building in sunlight from more
than 100 ft. away with the lens focused at infinity. If you’re testing a lens longer
than 60mm, be sure that you’re at least 150 ft. from the subject. Make one
exposure at widest aperture (using the appropriate shutter speed), and another
three stops smaller (adjust shutter accordingly). The first exposure should be
at least satisfactorily sharp in the center, the second should be sharp overall.
Check the viewfinder image with the film image; the latter may show more than
the former, but it should not show less.
(B) FOCUS: Make a close-up portrait of a person, using the widest lens opening
and shooting from 31,4 ft. or less. Focus carefully on the subject's eyes. In the
resulting negative or print the eyes should be sharp. If they’re not, but the ears
or nose is, the lens may not be properly aligned with the camera or the focusing
mechanism.
(C) SHUTTER: Individual shutter speeds need not be accurate. In fact only in
rare cases are they. However, it is more important that the relation between
the speeds be consistent. To check for speed consistency, photograph a clear
sky at each shutter speed (adjusting the aperture to keep camera exposure
constant). All the resulting negatives (here it’s not as necessary to make prints)
should have equal density. The density within the frame should also be con-
sistent. A faulty leaf shutter will produce decreased density toward the edges
of the negative, whereas a faulty focal-plane shutter will produce decreased
density across the frame or will expose only part or none of the frame.

ULTRA
MINIATURE
by JOSEPH D. COOPER
Tripods: luxury or necessity? Test
your own steadiness to determine
when you need one.
Tripods for ul-
traminiature ctam-
eras? Seems in-
congruous,
doesn’t it—for a
tiny pocketable
instrument ?
Odd as it may
seem, the hazards
of camera shake
are greater
with ultraminia-
ture cameras than with larger cam-
eras. Since the ultraminiatures are so
small and light, they are susceptible
to any outside force, including wind,
movements of the floor or ground
transmitted through the body, breath-
ing, body sway and the pressure of
your finger when you make the expo-
sure. And, any unsharpness is more
apparent in prints from ultraminia-
ture, since the small negatives usually
undergo a greater degree of enlarge-
ment than is usual with 35mm and the
larger film sizes.
With larger cameras, the general
rule is that 1/25 or 1/30 sec. is the
very slowest hand-held exposure which
should be used. These shutter speeds
may also be used for hand-held expo-
sures with ultraminiature cameras but
even more care must be taken to pre-
vent movement during exposure. Just
as a check on this, listen carefully to
the shutter action at 1/25 or 1/30. You
can hear a double clicking sound as
the shutter opens and as it closes. The
interval between is a relatively long
one during which any movement can
spoil your picture.
Make a test
I suggest that you make your own
test to find that shutter speed at which
you can safely make a hand-held ex-
posure. With the camera mounted on
a tripod or other solid support, make
an exposure at 1/25 or 1/30 sec. Then,
continue using the higher speeds one
by one in sequence, adjusting aperture
accordingly. Photograph the same sub-
ject from the same distance hand-hold-
ing the camera, again making a series
starting with 1/25 (or 1/30) and con-
tinuing to the highest speed on your
camera. Hold the camera as steadily
as possible while you squeeze the shut-
ter gently at the moment of exposure.
After you develop your film, use the
pictures taken with the tripod as your

basis of comparison. The slowest speed
at which there is no observable differ-
ence in the sharpness is the fastest
speed that you should try to hand hold.
Thereafter, you will know your own
bottom limit for a hand-held exposure.
At slower speeds, you should use a tri-
pod or other solid support if you want
the best results.
Now, as to tripods: for a small cam-
era, you really need a sturdier suppert
than for a heavy camera. The tiny
ultraminiature just does not have
enough weight to force the tripod to
hold steadily to the ground. Since, obvi-
ously, you don’t want to bother carry-
ing a tripod many times larger and
heavier than your camera, the best so-
lution is to use one of the small tripods
which are meant to be placed on top
of a table or against a wall or other
solid surface. Even though these tri-
pods are small and light, they are
fairly stable because they have a low
center of gravity.
The highly portable collapsible tri-
pods—the ones that telescope down to
about 10 inches or thereabouts—are
not particularly stable when fully ex-
tended. But if they are used without
extending the legs, they do provide a
sturdy support, and can be used on top
of a table, desk, etc. as mentioned
above. There is one tripod made espe-
cially for ultraminiature work which
is meant to be used in the same way:
the Minox pocket tripod. Incidentally,
with the swivel mount for the top of
the tripod, you can hold the camera
agai’ 3t supports that are not perfectly
flat. You can even hold it against your
chest because this makes it part of
body, thereby giving you more support
than when the camera is held extended
in your hands, against your forehead
or cheekbone. Some collapsible tripods
that are suitable for ultraminiature
work are, the Accura, the Kalimar
and the Alpex, in addition to the Minox
pocket tripod.
All of the ultraminiature cameras
now on the market in this country have
tripod sockets with the exception of
the Minolta-16 (II) and the Minox.
For these two cameras, the manufac-
turers furnish special tripod clamps
which enable you to mount the cam-
eras on tripods and also to use cable
releases when making slow exposures.
The GaMi-16 has a continental tripod
thread and therefore you will need to
use a reducing adapter or bushing.

TO THE EDITOR
Single-Minded Single-Framers
I enjoyed reading your article on
35mm single-frame photography (June
1961). However, Mr. Meyers neglected
to mention an important use of the
single-frame cameras, their ability to
produce '35mm filmstrips. Filmstrips
are the most widely used audio-visual
aids in the classroom. Teachers, with
a single-frame camera, can produce
their own filmstrips quickly, inexpen-
sively, and tailor-made to their partic-
ular teaching requirements.
Branford, Conn. Stuart Roe
I have held the conviction, quietly,
for nearly 20 years that (based on my
own experience with the wonderful
Univex Mercury 1 with Wollensak
35mm f/2.7 lens) single-frame 35 was
quite adequate for almost anything but
glamour and architecture. My camera
has a companion enlarger, which uses
the lens out of the camera and is espe-
cially designed for single-frame en-
larging. It’s a nice double-condenser
precision enlarger that I bought new
for $25. I have rapid wind, 1/1000 down
to 1/20 with B and T, close-ups to
15 in., built-in extinction-type exposure
meter that is just uncanny. Total in-
vestment in 1941: less than $75!
Coupled rangefinder is still available
and you can usually pick up a Mercury
in a used camera store.

It was through the former 35mm
camera called Univex, manufactured
by the Universal Camera Corp., that
I became a member of the family of
35mm photographers. I believe that
there is a good place for the single-
frame camera because it can still give
what the early 35mm double-frame
cameras gave, namely, ease in han-
dling. They were not heavy like the
presert makes of 35mm cameras. Also,
in 1959: and 1940 I found that ‘if I
planned to make 11 x 14-in. prints I
made sure that I had thin negatives,
for this way I had practically elimi-
nated the grain. I still have some of
these. Inasmuch as most homes being
built today do not offer unusually large
living rooms, the single-frame color
slide can easily produce a good picture
on any of the home size screens.

good laugh, and also some sadness,
as I see your correspondent is badly
mistaken about the state of the Span-
ish photographic industry.
To begin with, there are four, not
three, brands of sensitized material:
Infonal, Mafe, Negtor, and Valca
(Valea, not Vafca). Among their
products are paper, ortho and panchro
roll film, plates, sheet film, color neg-
ative films, and positive color paper.
There are at least four makes of
electronic flashes: Eos, Exacta, Combi-
Reporter, and Pic. (The two latter
made partially with German parts.)
We also make enlargers, cameras
(chiefly cheap, popular models),
binoculars and microscopes (in Ma-
drid, under contract with Zeiss Ikon
A.G.), movie and slide projectors.
Barcelona, Spain Rafael Navarro Ruiz
I would like to add a little about
photography in Spain.
The only films made exclusively in
Spain under Spanish formula are, as
you say, Infonal, Mafe, and Valca.
However, Mafe does not make any
35mm, except under the name of
Perutz. The same goes for Infonal
(Industrias Fotoquimicas Nacionales,
S.A.), leaving Valca holding the bag,
and it’s a rather poor one at that. The
film is very fast (21-23 DIN, 100-160
ASA), has a high inherent fog which
makes for a rather low-contrast film.
The overall grain in D-76 (very popular
in Spain) is about like the old Plus-X.
Right now I’m running some tests on
Mafe’s Perutz to see how it compares
with American films. I will use a
modified D-25 formula which has
given me excellent results with Plus-
X Pan at up to 1200 ASA practically
without grain at 25X enlargement.
Agfa will be manufactured shortly
here by Valca. Its price will then be
half what it is now. By the way, film
in Spain is sold without cassette in a
light-tight tube. You literally roll your
own. The foreign films are 45 pesetas
or about 76 cents for 36 exposures.
With cassette (supplied by your local
photo shop) the price is 93 cents.
That’s still quite a bit under stateside
prices for the same Plus-X Pan, etc.
Perutz (made here) and Agfa (when
it is made here) will cost only 38 cents
for 36-exposure less cassettes. Devel-
oping is usually done with D-76 and
costs about 11 cents a roll. Copies are
3% cents each for 2%x4% in. Enlarg-
ing paper runs about $4.80 a hundred
(list) for 8x10 and is excellent.

Battery Inspection
It is very important to use the speci-
fied mercury battery in a CdS meter
(Electric Eye Systems, July, p. 92).
The RM625R cell is manufactured as a
reference cell, and the voltage is quite
accurate, and maintains a close order
of accuracy through its life. Should a
21
user substitute an RM625H, a hearing
aid battery, the higher initial voltage
would make the meter read high. Fur-
thermore, the “‘H” suffix cell does not
develop a relatively constant voltage
during its life—hence the accuracy of
the meter would suffer.

OMORROW
by BENNETT SHERMAN
A brand-new and amazing concept
in lighting: the crystal-powered
flash unit.
In view of the
many handy port-
able electronic
flash units being
made today, we
often wonder why
the old-fashioned
wire-filled flash-
bulbs are still
popular. One rea-
son is that the
; portable units are
relatively heavy, and in most cases do
not give as much light as the compact,
conventional type flashguns. Many of
these conventional guns weigh just a
few ounces and can be carried in your
pocket. However, the very small bat-
tery-operated flashguns have some in-
conveniences. If you’ve had one of the
little folding guns around the house
for a while, you’ve probably noticed
that after a few months the battery
runs down, loses its power to fire the
bulb, and sometimes gums up the flash-
gun with a jelly-like material which
leaks out of the battery. One of the
ways that small flashgun manufac-
turers have tried to lengthen the life
of the small batteries has been the de-
velopment of the BC gun. In this type,
a higner-voltage battery charges up
a small radio-type condenser which,
when the gun is fired, pulses a surge
of electricity through the bulb, caus-
ing it to light up. Recently, Eastman
Kodak built a small flashgun with a
tiny generator to charge up the con-
denser. Before you take a picture, you
spin a wheel which generates the re-
quired electric current to the condenser
to fire the flashbulb. All of these meth-
ods have made the small flashgun more
useful for the casual shooter.
In February of this year, Dr. Guy
Suits of the General Electric Research
Labs in Schenectady, N. Y. came up
with an entirely different way of get-
ting the pulse of electric current to
fire the bulb. He received a patent for
the idea at that time. Basically, his
method uses a well-known phenomenon
of certain crystal materials, such as
quartz, rochelle salt, and barium
titanate, a new and important mate-
rial in electronics. If you clamp a small
crystal of one of these materials and
fix wires to two sides, then bend or
strike the crystal, a small electric cur-
rent will flow through the wires. This
is how the crystal pick-ups for phono-
graphs work. The needle imparts vi-
brations from the record groove to the
crystal, which in turn generates an
electric current which is then ampli-
fied and put into the speaker, from
which we hear the sounds. The crystals
do not generate much electrical cur-
rent when used in the phonograph.
However, the flashbulb does need a
fair-sized jolt to start the bundle of
magnesium or zirconium wire burning.
We therefore might expect that the
Kodak gifts say

crystal generator would not be of any
use in making a flashgun. Dr. Suits
found that barium titanate, when hit
with a small but sharp blow, produces
a high voltage pulse which could be
used to fire a bulb. One of the problems
he had to solve was how to do it.
The diagram below shows how Dr.
Suits set up the scheme. The crystal
When shutter cocking lever (A) is set,
hammer (B) is raised until caught by
catch lever (C). Hammer spring (D)
is then under tension. When shutter
release (E) is pressed, shutter moves
trip-lever (F), allows catch lever to
move back, releasing hammer. Hammer
strikes crystal (G) and electric pulse
is generated. Pulse travels along wires
(H) to flashbulb (L) and ignites it.
with its small wires attached is fas-
tened down, and a small hammer is
poised above it. The hammer is pow-
ered by a spring. When it is lifted, the
spring is in tension, and the hammer
is caught on its edge by a catch lever.
When the camera shutter mechanism
pulls the catch lever back, the hammer
comes down and strikes thecrystal. The
generated electrical current goes di-
rectly to the flashbulb without any fur-
ther action. When the shutter is cocked
for the next exposure, the hammer is
again lifted and caught by the lever.
Among several advantages he cites
for this system is that the crystal gen-
erates a high-voltage pulse of elec-
tricity which tends to jump across poor
lamp-base contacts more readily than
does the low voltage used in battery
units. He also points out that this sys-
tem can readily be built right into a
shutter, or at least designed in when
the shutter is originally engineered.
This eliminates the need for a flashgun
to have anything more than a lamp
socket and a reflector. Imagine how
compact this would be!
There’s no battery to lose power or
gum up the inside of the gun; and
there’s less trouble with lamp-socket
contacts. I can see, however, a few
minor problems.
First, the barium titanate crystal
is pretty fragile, and the adjustment
of the hammer must be just right.
If after a while the hammer surface
23
should wear down, or the adjustment
go out, the crystal might crack under
the blow. To replace it might require
opening up the shutter. This isn’t the
same as opening the back of the flash-
gun and throwing away the weak bat-
tery. Another problem may arise in
the wire leads attached to the crystal.
Under the pounding of the hammer,
these leads might break away from the
crystal, cutting off the electrical pulse
from the bulb circuit. Finally, I’ve
looked inside the modern Compur and
many other between-the-lens shutters.
I doubt if there is much room for any-
thing more. Getting this device to fit
inside will be a problem.—THE END

Photo Books
NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY, by Edna Ben-
nett, 127 pages. Universal Photo Books,
$1.95*
This book should serve as an intro-
duction to any photographer who has
longed to photograph nature subjects
—whether landscapes, animal or bird
life, flowers or fish.
First, the author plainly shows that
nature shooting is not an esoteric
branch of photography that requires
unusual skills or highly specialized
equipment. Second, and perhaps most
important, the book provides many
ideas of what to shoot and where.
We found it lacking in some minor
details. Perhaps the author could have
included more material on the use of
close-up attachments—lenses and ex-
tension tubes. Also, in one section on
shooting fish in home aquariums, we
thought some warning should have
been given about using photofloods for
too long a period. Fish tanks must be
kept at a constant temperature to in-
sure the health of the tropical species,
and photofloods tend to overheat the
water within just a very few minutes.
In one respect, at least, the photo-
graphs are somewhat different from
those in other nature books. Several of
them relate people to nature—an un-
usual approach.—M.A.M.
PRESS PHOTOGRAPHY, by Robert B.
Rhode and Floyd H. McCall, 244 pages.
The Macmillan Co., $6*
You can not overestimate the im-
portance of this book. It is the press
photography book for would-be or
present press photographers. Rhode,
associate professor of Journalism at
the University of Colorado, and McCall,
chief photographer of the Denver Post,
have written a truly brilliant, com-
plete, entertaining, highly instructive
manual.
There are 14 chapters. The first gives
a succinct history of photography from
the newspaper photojournalist’s point
of view. The second examines the
cameras in use today—the 4 x 5
Graphic, its assets and limitations, the
2% x 2% twin- and single-lens reflex
and the 35mm camera which are
rapidly taking over the jobs once the
exclusive domain of the larger camera.
The authors make liberal use of ex-
plicit examples of both newspapers and
news services which were faced with
bringing their techniques up to date,
telling why and how they chose
specific types of cameras to do it.
In “The Negative Story” the prob-
lems of film selection, plus high-speed
and normal processing, are fully de-
scribed and preceded by a highly lucid
description of the physical structure
of the film and what happens to it
chemically during processing. “Posi-
tive Prints” covers materials (includ-
ing variable contrast paper), retouch-
ing, developer selection, distortion con-
trol as well as the problems introduced
by the mechanical needs of news-
paper reproduction.
“Optics for the Press Photographer”
highlights the proper lenses for 4 x 5,
2% x 2%, 35mm tele lenses, wide-
angle lenses, depth of field, apparent
distortion, image size. Additional chap-
ters just as thoroughly cover: lighting,
tackling the assignment, sports photog-
raphy, woman’s page photography, the
picture story, the news photographer
and the law, and careers.
One chapter, “The News in Color,”
gives complete information on de-
veloping High Speed Ektachrome as a
negative material, a procedure which

THE NUDE by Andre de Dienes, 146
pages, 91 photographs. The Bodley
Head, London, $4.95*
The photographer whose name for
countless years has been connected
with excellent photographs of the nude
has turned out an assortment of vul-
gar, trollopy parodies on his earlier
work. It is hard to take seriously a
nude leaning precariously on a stack
of old books while an old sailing boat
model topped with a human skull and
surrounded by what looks like an as-
sortment of femur bones occupies the
background. Have you ever seen a
torrid Latin-type snaking out at you
from a lush tropical foliage, playing
(or at least holding clumsily) a giant
guitar? How about a heavily endowed
young lady with head thrown back
clutching a strand of barbed wire? De
Dienes succeeds in obtaining passable
artistic results only when he harks
back to the compositions of earlier
works—girls lying on the beach with
one foot poised in mid-air while the
surf encompasses them, girls racing
down sand dunes, etc.
There is also a section of composite
pictures where nudes are sandwiched
in printing against sunsets, water,
beaches, brick walls, etc. While they
are humorous, a ham on rye would be
more aesthetic than the entire lot com-
bined. In an unusual departure, de
Dienes has furnished technical data
with all his pictures as well as a num-
ber of choice phrases explaining how
exquisite the model or the picture is.
If the subjects represent the best of
figure models available to de Dienes,
the decline and fall of the West is at
hand.—H.K.
L. J. M. DAGUERRE, THE WORLD'S FIRST
PHOTOGRAPHER, by Helmut and Alison
Gernsheim, 216 pages, 117 illustrations.
The World Publishing Co., $7.50*
Photography must truly be a crea-
tive art. How could any field that
wasn’t produce so many flamboyant,
brilliantly technical but tasteful
wizards? Of the wizards none was
more interesting, more controversial,
more exciting than the original P. T.
Barnum of photography himself, the
25
inventor Louis Jacques Mande Dag-
uerre, architect, scenic designer,
painter and photographer. The Gern-
sheims, two of the very finest photo-
graphic historians, brilliantly recreate
the man, the times and the daguerreo-
typists who used his technique in what
is certainly the definitive work on the
man. But don’t let the word “defini-
tive” frighten you. The text is bouncy,
entrancing and most difficult to put
down even if you don’t know an f/stop
from a hole in the wall.
The well-produced illustrational in-
serts are a joy, showing daguerreo-
types of the inventor, his associates,
his subjects and those of his followers.
Biting lithographic cartoons by Dau-
mier and others concerning the
daguerreotypists are included as well
as a goodly array of Daguerre’s litho-
graphs, drawings and paintings which
he used in his pre-photographic
Dioramas. The Diorama was an indoor
scenic presentation in which spectacu-
lar historical or geographic scenes
cleverly painted and lit produced an
illusion of reality. Plans showing the
working of the Diorama are included
by the Gernsheims.
One particular quote from the book
amused us. At the end of a highly in-
formative passage stating just how a
subject should pose, what color back-
ground is needed for best technical and
artistic effects, two well-known da-

A step forward in standardization?
—The GOST goes East on the
double—Indian Nikons—Whispers
of new equipment to come.
Despite the obvious steps to stand-
ardize on leaf shutter types (Compur,
Prontor, Copal, Seikosha, Citizen,
etc.), camera manufacturers continue
to make their own components for
film winding, shutter cocking and
viewfinding in their own factories. The
headaches that such a system causes
repairmen can well be imagined. Pur-
chasers get it in the neck too. For
repairs, a camera must be returned
directly to the makers or distributors
or authorized repair shops. Often the
user doesn’t get his precious camera
back for two weeks, a month or even
longer. If present plans by Kowa Op-
tical Co. come to fruition, things may
change markedly.
The Kowa plan is this: Kowa would
supply 7 major standardized camera
parts for 35mm rangefinder and single-
lens reflex cameras—shutter unit,
winding unit, rewinding unit, range-
finder unit, lens unit, exposure counter
unit and mirror box unit containing
pentaprism and focusing screen. A
camera maker could buy as many of
these units as he wished and add other
parts to make up his own special cam-
era. Results: lower costs of la' -,
parts—and it’s hoped—lower cost of
camera. The big advantage however
for the camera owner will be simplicity
of repair. A Kowa spokesman sug-
gested that it might even be possible
to have major repairs carried out right
at the camera store with no need to
send the camera to a special repair
agency.
Some trial units have already been
made but experts felt that these units
were overly large and would tend to
make the cameras in which they fit
far too bulky. At present Kowa is em-
barking on a 1% year research and
development plan to perfect the idea.
Precisely how such standardized
parts may limit camera manufac-
turers wishing to make camera A big-
ger, better and different from camera
B is a matter of concern. Will cameras
begin to be carbon copies of each other
with only some changed chrome?
There is such a thing as carrying
standardization to the point where
individuality is lost completely.
Russian ratings
We have ASA indexes, the British
have BSI, the Germans DIN, and the
Russians have GOFT or GOST—de-
pending on how you translate your
Russian these days. The speed crite-
rion of the Gost system is based on
the minimum exposure necessary to
produce a density of 0.2 above fog level.
Since this differs from our method of
establishing the rating of black-and-
white films, the Gost ratings are not
really directly comparable. However,
all Gost numbers are approximately
double the ASA. Kodak Tri-X Pan with
an ASA index of 400 would be about
800 Gost.
Well you didn’t expect the Russian
system to have smaller numbers than
the ASA, did you?
Trouble with KII?
There is a big discussion going on
about making duplicate transparen-
cies of Kodachrome II still shots and
duplicates of KII movies. Independent
labs say that the material presently
used for duplicating regular Koda-
chrome just won’t work with KII.

ernment, some Nikon products will

The general purpose 35mm cameras
that can be fitted with a motor drive
are few and far between. Add the
Balda line to the list. We wondered
why the makers began introducing
camera models with a bottom winding
key rather than a traditional top rapid
wind knob or lever. The reason is a
battery-powered electric drive called
the Servomat, which fits the camera
bottom snugly. It can fire and wind
the camera up to 25 pictures per min-
ute. Over 500 shots can be made on one
set of batteries. The unit can be set
off by a remote wired switch, a photo-

CLUBS
by MABEL SCACHERI
for the holiday season.
To have,
next year. And why not?
The probable reason is that a party
of this kind taxes the energy and in-
volves an enormous amount of time on
the part of a few members. Also, there
are so many Christmas parties, at the
office, among various groups, in the
last two weeks of December that I
should think, if a camera club wants
to have a special event during the
Christmas season, it might take some
other form.
Load up several cars and drive
around town one evening, to photo-
graph outdoor trees at night. Or have
a snow-picture field trip the weekend
before Christmas, in white-Christmas
parts of the country. Or, if you are a
tuneful group, you might revive the old
custom of singing Christmas carols in
the street at night.
Group projects aren’t favored
The camera fan, however, is not only
conventional in his behavior, he is also
a lone wolf in his picture-shooting.
Take part in a club project? Naah.
One December evening I was visiting
the meeting of a movie club, and a
stranger asked for a few minutes to
address the club. He said that a church
in his town—over in New Jersey it was
-—would be putting on an elaborate
Christmas pageant. How many club
members would like to come over and
make a movie of it? Not one hand
was raised to volunteer.
A bunch of heathen, the stranger
(Continued on page 48)
Here’s how to get out of the Christ-
mas Party rut: new club projects
have not, a Christ-
mas party is an
annual problem
for most camera
clubs. I’ve at-
tended a number
of rather elabo-
rate affairs which
must have in-
volved a lot of
work for the com-
mittee in charge. There were games
and grab bags and trays of canapes,
ice-cream and cake, and mildly spiked
punch. Everybody had a fine time—but
the club never repeated the party the
"An off-beat and exquisite objet d'art"
Presenting the fourth annual

another great 24-square, automatic reflex
new model S is priced at $399.50 with 75mm Auto-Nikkor f2.8 lens
Anyone familiar with the current Bronica Deluxe would
find it hard to believe that Bronica could produce a sec-
ond model which could ‘hold its own’ with the first. Yet,
here it is—the new Bronica S now being featured alongside
the Bronica Deluxe—$90 lower in price, offering the same
optics and most of the exclusive features which have dis-
tinguished the Bronica Deluxe reflex from all others.
AUTOMATIC MIRROR AND AUTOMATIC DIAPHRAGM elimi-
nate blackout and dimming of finder image.
DEPTH-OF-FIELD PREVIEWER lets you observe depth-of-field
at ‘taking’ aperture, or select aperture for desired depth.
WINDING CRANK automatically advances film for each
exposure and winds shutter simultaneously. Folds flush.
Focusing knob is separate, and operates independently.
INTERCHANGEABLE BACK WITH AUTOMATIC ‘FILMINDER
FEATURE prevents advancing unexposed film. Also pre-
vents removal of darkslide with film-back off camera.
AUTOMATIC FILM TENSION SYSTEM holds film taut and
flat for exposure. Relaxes when film is advanced.
INTERCHANGEABLE NIKKOR LENSES for Bronica S range
from 50mm wide angle to 500mm super telephoto.
FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER operates at any speed from | sec-
ond to 1/1000th. FP synch at all speeds, X at 1/50th.
See the new Bronica S at your dealer today! Better still,
see both—the Bronica S at $399.50 and the Bronica Deluxe
at $489.50, each with 75mm f2.8 Auto-Nikkor lens, For
further details, write to Dept. MP-12.

COLOR
BY NORMAN ROTHSCHILD
Impressed with the features of
Kodachrome II? Don’t neglect the
advantages of other transparency
films on the market.
Kodachrome II’s
extremely high
resolution, fine
grain and expo-
sure index of 25
mark it as unsur-
passed by any
color film of any
speed. But don’t
be blinded by the
seemingly incom-
parable features of KII and start using
it exclusively. Anscochrome and Ekta-
chrome offer advantages that the pho-
tographer cannot afford to overlook.
Here are some examples.
Increased speed: With some films you
can raise the ASA rating and push your
film to even greater speed, provided
you make the necessary corresponding
changes in development. But with KII
you are limited to its given rating of
E.I. 25 because processors are not yet
able to give it special processing. How-
ever, Anscochrome and Ektachrome
can safely be rated at twice their given
speeds of 32 and be processed accord-
ingly. Anscochrome can even be
pushed as high as 125, though with
some loss of image quality. If exposed
at higher than normal indexes, Ansco-
chrome and Ektachrome can be spe-
cially processed by almost any custom
finisher, or you can do it yourself in
your own darkroom. Most custom
finishers do not charge extra for push-
ing film one stop.
The economic angle
If speed is of such importance why
not use a faster film? One good reason
—slower films cost less money. For
$10.75 you can buy an Ansco Easy
Loader and enough film to give you 8
rolls of 20 exposures each. By buying
your film in bulk and loading it your-
self, you can save 30%. (See “Modern
Color,’”’ October 1960 for more about
film economy. )
Besides saving money, you will find
that you can experiment with Ansco-

If you give
Poarcino®
If you’re not getting all the pictures
you’d like to have, here’s a way to get them.
Give a Polaroid 10-Second Automatic
Camera to someone in your family. From
the minute it’s unwrapped, you'll start
getting great pictures. And all you want.
You'll get more pictures because this
new Polaroid Land Camera takes the work
out of photography. And the waiting. It’s
fun to make snapshots when you know
you'll see them in ten seconds. For the
same reason, children actually like to
pose for 10-second pictures.
They like to take them, too. Anyone
old enough to aim a Polaroid Automatic
Camera can use it. Simply push three
buttons and, ten seconds later, take out
a perfect picture.
You don’t have to focus to get sharp
pictures. And, in portrait position, you
can work as close as 30”.
You don’t worry about the light. The
electric eye automatically selects the
right exposure, dawn to dusk. It even sig-
nals you when to use the built-in flash!
So get a full album of fine pictures,
starting with Christmas morning. Give a
Polaroid 10-Second Automatic Camera.
It’s the only present you'll give that
will give you presents forever.
THIS IS JET PROPULSION! .. . the exclusive
jet-action power drive of the new Graphic 35 Jet—
self-contained, positive, and complete. A single short
flick of the trigger takes the exposure, advances the
film, and cocks the shutter for your next picture.
Then the next and the next—up to 2 shots a second!
PLUS PUSH-BUTTON FOCUSING!....

You can tell it’s an Airequipt Superba in the dark!
If you’re in the audience, you can prob-
ably guess it’s an Airequipt Superba
slide projector by the sharpness and
brilliance of the pictures.
If you’re running the show, there’s
just no question about it. The famous
Airequipt slide magazines and fool-
proof changing mechanism give your
slide show a special ease and smooth-
ness. And—with the Airequipt Superba
77, for instance —you can run the show
from virtually anywhere in the room.
With one hand. In the dark. By remote
control, you change slides forward or
reverse and even focus.
And with the ultimate in slide pro-
jectors, the amazing new Airequipt
Superba Sonic, your commands are
transmitted instantly by a unique four-
way wireless remote control.
Or with most Airequipt models you
can set the button on the machine for
Automatic and it runs the show by itself.
One caution, however. Don’t buy
your slide projector in the dark. Com-
pare the Airequipt Superbas with any
other slide projectors in the store. You'll
find that they’re the smallest, lightest,
most compact fully-automatic slide
projectors on the market. When you
discover you can choose from five
Airequipt Superba models starting at
less than $60, you’ll see the light.

chrome and Ektachrome and make un-
usual and exciting pictures. Here are
two experiment suggestions.
Lower ASA Rating: Have you ever
tried rating a film lower than its given
ASA speed? Anscochrome can be
rated as low as 8 and Ektachrome as
low as 10. Decreasing the speed of a
film allows you to shoot in bright light
when the largest lens opening and
highest speed marked on your camera
would cause overexposure. You can set
the diaphragm wide open to throw the
background out of focus. With a slower
shutter speed you can get interesting
blurred motion effects.
Special processing information
A lower index will also give you in-
creased exposure latitude. Transpar-
encies that are low in contrast are
easier and better to duplicate and
print. For information on special proc-
essing of color films exposed at higher
or lower than normal indexes, write
Customer Service Dept., Ansco, Bing-
hamton, N. Y.; and Sales Service Dept.,
Eastman Kodak Co., 343 State St.,
Rochester 4, N. Y.
Exaggerating graininess: By taking
advantage of the grain in your film
you can achieve some startling impres-
sionistic effects. Using either Ansco-
chrome or Ektachrome, compose your
subject in the viewfinder and move
back about 10X the normal picture
taking distance. When you make a
print or have one made, blow up only
a small section of the transparency.
You will have an amazing picture made
up of small colored dots resembling the
paintings of Seurat.
Just as no two picture taking situa-
tions are alike, no two films are alike.
Therefore you should be familiar with
the individual characteristics of each
type of film and make your choice
according to the situation in which you
are shooting.
Consider the characteristics
For example, on a cloudy day, Ans-
cochrome and Kodachrome will give
you flat and lifeless transparencies.
For as much color saturation as possi-
ble, you need the extra snap of Ekta-
chrome. Use it whenever your subject
is dull or pale in color. Characteristics
of Anscochrome on the other hand, are
softness, delicacy of color and an over-
all warmth and richness that is unique.
It is noted for its fine renditions of
reds, yellows and greens and its ability
to render color correctly over a wide
brightness range. Thus it is an ex-
cellent film for outdoor subjects.
KII may be praised for its high
resolution and fine grain, features
which make big, sharp, grainless full-
page reproductions and prints possible.
But for ordinary screen projection in
the home, camera club or lecture hall,
Anscochrome and Ektachrome are
more than satisfactory—-THE END

Why are there 19 electrical resistors
in the new fully automatic
electric eye FUJICA 35ce
Shown here, enlarged twice actual size, is one of the reasons for the con
sistently correct exposures you get AUTOMATICALLY with the New FUJICA.
Instead of having gears or cams that might be affected by temperature or phys-
ical shock, there are 19 electrical resistors. These control the infinitely small
electrical impulses generated by light that hits the electric eye. They are part
of an unusually precise system that opens up or closes down the lens
AUTOMATICALLY.
In addition, the tremendous. light gathering power of the world-famous
FUJINON 6 element f/1.9 lens gives you perfectly exposed shots at light levels
so low, other cameras require flash. A ‘‘Close-up Light-Lock"’ enables you to
expose properly for a specific part of your subject, no matter how bright or dull
the side or, background light.
The fastest action poses no problem. You have 11 shutter speeds from one

meter. A built-in Stop and Go Signal tells you when to switch to a slower shutter
speed for a particular light situation
Overall operation is quite simple. FUJICA’s natural thumb position rear
focusing enables you to shift and pinpoint your focus quickly and smoothly from
closeup to middle shot to infinity without finger fumbling. An extra large view
finder window ‘‘previews"’ your picture in the exact size you want without con-
fusing crop lines.

CAMERA CLUBS
(Continued from page 28)
must have thought to himself. He
would have had the same non-enthus-
iasm from a club of color slide shoot-
ers, I’m sure. Shutterbugs want to find
their own material and have their own
set of slides or prints. Once in a blue
moon you do hear of a club project,
so to speak. That is, the club members
work on an assigned theme. Fine, if
there is a special prize or award for
the best set of pictures, and if each
fellow works alone.
Churches have all sorts of special
doings at Christmastime which ought
to make interesting pictures. No doubt
any church would be glad to have a set
of prints or slides on these affairs.
But most clubs would rather go for
the idea of having a special contest for
the best Christmas picture, a shot
epitomizing some aspect of Christmas,
entries to be judged as early in Janu-
ary as possible. Christmas lingers in
the air for just a few days after
January first, haven’t you noticed?
Look around for good themes
Or, the contest theme might be
“Christmas in Our Town.” Let each
member find out about the Christmas
plans of individuals or groups which
would make an unusual shot. For in-
stance, in New York the girls employed
by the telephone company ask people
to send them dolls, which the girls
dress in elegant wardrobes. The dolls
are given to children in hospitals. _
Your community no doubt has some
unique Christmas project worth photo-
graphing. The amateur could use his
time, sense of composition and effective
lighting to make contest-worthy shots
of this same material.
If you have read this far, you have
probably been thinking, ‘Maybe pretty
soon she’ll tell us how to throw a
Christmas party.” All right. Have
dinner at a restaurant. Remember how
mad the lady members were because
they had so many canapes left over?
Don’t like the restaurant idea? The
wives and the lady club members do!
So go ahead with a shindig in your
club quarters, but get a caterer to send
in the party food. The two sassiest
members of the club may be willing
to buy gifts, at 10 cents each, tops 25
cents, of a gag nature, to be handed
out from a pile under a tripod tree.
With plastic holly and some shiny balls
and ornaments, a tripod can be made
into quite some Christmas tree. If you
think a grab bag of goofy gifts would
be more fun, fine. It would be simpler
than devising something excruciat-
ingly appropriate for each individual.
Remember, now. No pestering the
women members to bring home-made
cakes or cookies. They’ll have enough
to do, wrapping all those little gifts.
Dime store toys are the ideal gifts-
for-laughs. Then donate them to kids
in hospitals, where Santa Claus stops
with a mighty slim pack.—THE END

new formula for getting the most out of a twin-lens reflex
Lens interchangeability provides the Mamiya C2 user with a
freedom of lens choice offered by no other twin-lens reflex. And
because of it, some very startling discoveries have been made
which seem to show a trend away from the traditional 75mm or
80mm ‘normal’ lens. One professional C2 user puts it this way:
“Using the 105mm as a ‘normal’ lens instead of the 80, | have the
advantage of a longer focal length—a slightly larger image and
better perspective for close-ups and portraiture.
“Also, | find that | can handle just about everything with only two
additional lenses. The 65mm gives me a considerably wider
angle than the 105, and it also lets me focus to 4 inches without
attachments. The 180mm lens covers all my telephoto needs.
This lens has always been a favorite of mine, for close-cropped
portraits, sports, industrials and long-distance shots.”
The 65, 105 and 180mm lens complement is evidently becoming
a very popular lens combination for the Mamiya C2—especially
among the professionals. And it is interesting to note how many
more C2 cameras are now being sold with 105mm lenses.
Whatever lens preferences you may have, if you want a twin-
lens reflex that can give you close-ups without attachments, inter-
changeable wide angle, normal and telephotography, examine
the Mamiya C2. It's the world’s most versatile twin-lens reflex—
the only twin-lens reflex with interchangeable lenses. See it at
your dealer today. For further details, write to Dept. MP-12

Staff Photographer For Life Magazine
“Life” photographers and large
cameras, Part Il: An interview with
Ralph Morse and Yale Joel.
In last month’s
column I inter-
viewed Eliot
Elisofon, well-
known for his
scenic essays on
foreign countries
and photographs
of food. Ralph
Morse and Yale
Joel are primarily
photographers of people and action,
which calls for small cameras. It may
come as a surprise to learn that both
are avid practitioners of large-camera
photography; in fact, both state em-
phatically that they consider large
cameras indispensable in their work.
A
Ralph Morse owns three
Ralph Morse, well-known for his
photographic essays on space flight,
owns three large cameras: a 5 x 7
Deardorff with auxiliary 4 x 5 back,
and two 4 x 5 Graphics, one with and
one without a rear (focal-plane) shut-
ter. Morse frequently sets up all three
side by side, interconnects their syn-
chronized shutters, and shoots a se-
quence of three different phases of an
event by firing them one after another
with a timing switch.
This method offers several advan-
tages. Morse’s chances of capturing the
peak of action are three times greater
than if he had used only one camera.
He can use only the best shot, or he
can show three different phases of the
action. Also, he often equips one cam-
era with a wide-angle lens, one with
a standard, and one with a tele. In
this way he can, for example, show a
rocket together with the entire launch-
ing area (wide-angle lens) ; the rocket
itself in full detail (standard lens), and
after the take-off, the rocket in flight
(tele lens).
Another one of Ralph Morse’s spe-
cialties is the multiple-exposure. You
may remember Morse’s color shot of
a Civil War soldier shown in a single
picture in thirteen different positions
loading, aiming and firing his musket.
This shot involved the superimposition

Some photographers think owning a Linhof is a luxury.
+ A N YOU Far from it! Linhof users aren’t ivory-tower glamour boys.
They're down-to-earth professionals. Budget-wise indus-
AFFO RD trial photo departments repeatedly specify Linhof! And so
do outstanding universities, hospitals and research centers. =
A LINH F ? The reason is clear! = Linhof provides the most
e thoroughly engineered, the most versatile photo-
graphic tool in the world today. The Linhof Super Technika®4 x 5 stops at nothing photographic—
short of cinematography! Its superb workmanship assures lasting, reliable performance. m As a

matter of fact, it’s a luxury not to use
a Linhof! Above all, a Linhof pays its way.

LARGE CAMERA
(Continued from page 52)
of thirteen different exposures on a
single sheet of color film, with careful
masking of each shot to prevent un-
desirable ghost images. Morse em-
ployed this same technique to illus-
trate a teacher’s different jobs by
showing her in six positions at once;
and to show an entire foot race in
Madison Square Garden by recording
in one picture the start, middle and
finish of the race.
Morse has a set of eight lenses rang-
ing from a 65mm Super-Angulon wide-
angle lens to a 400mm Tele-Megor. All
lenses are mounted on Graphic lens
boards (his Deardorff is fitted with an
adapter) and can be used interchange-
ably on any of his cameras. And since
he frequently uses strobe, all his shut-
ters have X sync.
In conclusion, Morse told me another
very interesting fact—he uses a large
camera for more than half of his color
photographs.
Yale Joel and the syringe camera
Yale Joel is known as “the man with
the syringe camera.” Actually, tiuis
syringe camera does not belong to Joel,
but to Life. It is an 8 x 10 box-type
camera fitted with a 3-in. f/45 Goerz
Hypergon lens with a 130-degree angle
of view. The syringe camera gets its
name from the fact that, for uniform
light-distribution, a small spinner in
front of the lens must be rotated dur-
ing part of the exposure by means of
a hand-pump and a rubber tube.
Whenever Joel gets the job of show-
ing some hackneyed subject in a new
and interesting way, he reaches for the
syringe camera. By means of a wild
‘magination and clever exploitation of
the wide-angle distortion, he produces,
nine times out of ten, an unusual and
often staggering picture; in the tenth
case he flops. You may remember his
fantastic shot of the Time & Life
Building taken from above the roof,
looking down. To make this shot, he
fastened the syringe camera to a long
boom and suspended it vertically above
the street. The resulting picture is
known to have made people with acro-
phobia sick.
Joel owns a 4 x 5 Linhof Technika
and a full set of lenses from 65mm
super wide-angle to 400mm telephoto.
His Linhof is fitted with a ground glass
etched with a grid of parallel lines
which helps him keep verticals parallel
when using the camera’s swings. He
says that in difficult positions such as

guerreotypists Morse and Draper (the
Morse being Samuel F. B. Morse of
telegraphy fame) sum up the possibili-
ties of the process:
“. .. The eye appears beautifully;
the iris with sharpness, and the white
dot of light upon it, with such strength
and so much of reality and life, as to
surprise those who have never before
seen it. Many are persuaded, that the
pencil of the painter has been secretly
employed to give this finishing touch.”
Morse and Draper were too much of
the creative artists to foresee that
truth would inevitably give way to the
retoucher’s pencil which under proper
persuasion from the client would
secretly give the finishing touch.—H.k.
ARCHITECTURE IN AMERICA, a Pho-
tographic History From The Colonial
Period To The Present, text and photo-
graphs by Wayne Andrews, 179 pages.
Atheneum, $15
Splendid examples of the craft of
the architectural photographer. If
there is a similarity in the photographs,
this is as it should be, for Wayne
Andrews is not creating pictures. In-
stead, he is depicting with a clear and
unprejudiced eye another art, another
medium. In each of the photographs,
the shooting angle, the time of day
and the lighting have been chosen to
reveal the maximum—-of line, form,
detail and texture—of the structure
photographed. Photographic quality
and reproduction are excellent.—P.c.
THE MAGIC OF THE OPERA, a Picture
Memoir of the Metropolitan, with a
series of contemporary photographs by
Gijon Mili, text by Mary Ellis Petty, de-
sign by Tina S. Fredericks, 172 pages.
Praeger, $10
Without exception the photographs
in this book are delightful. The old
ones, gathered from a variety of
sources, show stars and sets of days
gone by: Caruso, Farrar, Melba, clad
and in character for their most famous
roles. The new ones, by Gjon Mili, deal
with the contemporary: audiences,
dancers, stagehands, singers.
Mili’s pictures are top notch, in
quality and in reproduction. They are
more than simply story telling for
they reveal the intangibles—the ele-
gance, the genius, and the effort—
which go into making the Met.—P.c.

J. N. Clarkis’ question “Would
the Leica M3 with 50mm f/1.5

BOX 6025-X
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNs
BY JOHN WOLBARST
Rangefinder cameras should be
checked for focus periodically.
Here are some simple tests.
In my September 1961 column I de-
scribed ways to check the focusing ar-
rangements of single-lens reflex 35mm
cameras. Such checks are even more
important with rangefinder cameras,
since the rangefinder mechanism con-
tains various mechanical linkages
which can be thrown out of adjust-
ment by shock, or other hard use.
The most common rangefinder check
is to set the camera for infinity and
aim out the window at a distant flag-
pole, water tower, or tall building. The-
oretically, if the rangefinder is of
the coincidence type, the two images
should overiap perfectly; if of the
split-image type, they should make a
single unbroken line. ©
This a good quick check to deter-
mine if the rangefinder works have
been badly scrambled and are totally
out of adjustment. However, the mere
fact that the rangefinder images match
at infinity is no guarantee whatsoever
that it will give you accurate focus at
close ranges. And besides, who needs
a rangefinder for far distant subjects ?
A rangefinder camera should be
checked for focus at several distances,
particularly those which are most im-
portant to you. I check my cameras
1. For quick visual check, aim camera
straight down at target on floor.
with 50mm lenses at 4, 7, and some-
times 10 ft.
If your camera has aczessory lenses
which couple to the rangefinder they
should also be checked for accurate
focus at important close ranges. Differ-
ences in the focusing mounts of some
supposedly interchangeable lenses can
lead to mystifying focusing troubles.
The ground glass/magnifier check
Focus can be checked visuaily and
quickly if the camera back opens. For
this you need a small piece of fine-
grained ground glass to fit in the film
channel in the back of the camera,
and a 10X or 12X magnifier which can
be adjusted for focus. Remember that
the image is formed on the bottom
(ground portion) of the glass and the
magnifier must be adjusted for this.
To do this, make a small X on the bot-
tom of the ground glass with a sharp
pencil and adjust the magnifier so the
X is sharply focused when you are
looking down through the top of the
ground glass.
According to the best repairmen
with whom I’ve spoken, it’s desirable
to put one thickness of transparent

in back of camera; be sure it lies flat.
10X or 12X magnifier goes on top.
tape across the narrow ends of the
ground glass, on the underside, to
raise the glass a‘tiny bit in the film
channel.
For a target I use a page from this
magazine, taped to a piece of card-
board which is laid flat under a tripod
as shown in photo 1. I use this vertical
technique because it’s easier to handle
the ground glass and magnifier this
way than when the camera is hori-
zontal.
One of the vertical lines which di-
vide the page into columns makes a
good aiming point for the rangefinder.
Set the ground glass and magnifier in
position as shown in photo 2. With the
lens wide open focus on the type page
and get it as sharp as possible. Do this
at least six times and note the position
of the distance scale each time—either
make a note on a piece of paper or, if
the nature of the lens mount permits
it, make a small mark on the mount
to indicate the sharp focus point.
The rangefinder routine
Set the lens to infinity and turn it
until the rangefinder shows the vertical
line in sharp focus. Note the position
of the distance scale. Then continue

to move the lens to its closest focusing
point and from there turn it back again
until the rangefinder again shows the
vertical line in sharp focus. Again note
the position of the distance scale. You
should wind up at just about the same
point as when you focused from infin-
ity. If not, there is looseness or “back-
lash” in the rangefinder and it needs
attention. Repeat this whole routine at
least six times noting carefully where
the lens stops each time. Now compare
your notes of the rangefinder and
ground glass/magnifier checks. They
should show that the lens has stopped
in just about the same spot each time
you focused.
How critical can you be?
The Anscoset shown in photos 1 and
2 had a good rangefinder. At 4 ft. I was
unable to detect any difference between
the focusing positions achieved with
the rangefinder and with the ground
glass and magnifier. However, at 7 ft.
my notes showed a slight difference,
which I figured to be about 2-3 in. I
considered this a very good perform-
ance by me and the Anscoset. For one
thing, at 7 ft. it is extraordinarily dif-
ficult to focus exactly with an ordinary
subject, such as a person. Even with
such a sharply defined subject as my
test target, at 7 ft. or further it is easy
to make a slight judgment error in
deciding if the ground glass image is
at its sharpest or if the rangefinder
images match.
Checking with film
If the camera has a solid back (old
model Leicas and.copies of that de-
sign) or if you don’t have a magnifier
and ground glass, it’s easy to check
focus with actual exposures on a fine
grain film. Kodak Plus-X Pan will do,
but with Kodak Panatomic-X or Adox
KB-14 it may be slightly easier to read
the results.
I set up my target and camera as
shown in photos 3 and 4. Since this is

rangefinder routine” above, but make
an exposure each time. After the film
is developed and dried, examine it with
a powerful magnifier, project it in an
enlarger, or make some 8 x 10 prints
of the test target.
You should be able to pick out and
read the target line without difficulty.
Also, on both sides of it there should
be a few lines of type which can also
be read, while the rest of the page ap-
pears increasingly blurred as you move
away from the target line.
What to do about it
If your rangefinder focus is off, don’t
try to fix it yourself. Ask your local
camera store for the name of a reliable
repairman. Or, write to the manufac-
turer or importer of your camera and
ask for the location of the nearest au-
thorized repairman.
The rangefinder may be just a bit
out of adjustment ‘or the trouble may
be more serious. For example, a hard
blow may have bent in the front of
the camera body. This can be a tricky
and expensive repair.—THE END
DO IT, DO IT, DO
EMERGENCY LENS SHADE. For tem-
porary use, an emergency lens shade
can be made by cutting a hole in the
bottom of a paper cup, and fitting it over
the lens; or you can use the cardboard
tube from the center of a roll of bath-
room tissue (cut short and fitted over
the lens). As a last resort, dark paper
can be taped around the lens.
EMERGENCY REDUCER FOR WNEGA-
TIVES. An excellent reducer for overly
dark negatives is common household
bleach. Mix 14 oz. bleach to 8 oz. water.
Soak negatives in water for 5 to 10 min.,
then immerse them in bleach bath until
the desired density is reached. Wash
them in running water for about 15 min-
utes and hang them up to dry.

FACES OF THE
FUTURAMIC II
STROBONAR ELECTRONIC FLASH
Bounce lens Wide-angle lens
Any way you look at it, the Futuramic II is the most versatile
flash unit you can use.
Small (9% inches high), and lightweight (only 28 ounces,
complete with batteries), it is the only one-piece unit that
operates on readily available size C photoflash batteries, high-
performance E-93 batteries, rechargeable nickel-cadmium
cells, or standard household current (110V.). It is also the
only unit that can be custom-fitted to all popular cameras by
choosing the proper Honeywell bracket and cord. Now the
newest feature of the Futuramic II is this accessory kit that
The Futuramic II Accessory
Lens Kit in compact
zipper case is
no more than $8.95.
Write for illustrated folder to Minneapolis-Honeywell, Heiland
Division, 5222 E. Evans, Denver 22, Colorado.
Standard lens
Kodacolor lens Neutral density lens
makes interchangeable lenses for electronic flash available for
the first time.
The four lenses (shown above) are: a lens which provides
bounce flash effect without removing unit from camera; a
wide-angle lens to spread the light evenly for all but extreme
wide-angle camera lenses; a color-correcting lens to give prop-
er balance indoors with Kodacolor film; and a neutral density
lens to make closeups possible even with maximum-speed
films. The retaining ring slips over the unit’s standard lens—
makes changing lenses quick and easy.
Ask your Honeywell dealer for a demonstration of the
Futuramic II, available now at no more than $59.95, plus
batteries, clamp, and shutter cord.

Can you compare the Converto-Tamron
(f/2.8 135mm, f/5.5 225mm) with the
135mm f/2.8 Spiratone?—D. J. Sturges,
Minneapolis, Minn.
The idea of the Converto-Tamron, a lens
that can be converted to either 135mm
or 225mm, is a splendid one. Unfortu-
nately, it (and similar focal length con-
vertible lenses we've tested) doesn’t
seem to measure up to the sharpness
of single focal length lenses. We'd have
to choose the 135mm f/2.8 Spiratone
over the Converto-Tamron.
Which is more sensitive to low light—
the new cadmium sulfide cell; Sekonic
Microlite L-88, or the conventional
selenium cell, General Electric Golden
Crown (with booster)? Will either give
an accurate reading in low light of 16
sec. at f/2?—C. A. Conover, Roanoke,
Va.
We feel that the General Electric Golden
Crown meter is probably slightly more
sensitive to low light, but that in low
light conditions the Sekonic Microlite
L-88 is probably slightly more accurate.
With an average speed film with an ASA
index of 100 or 200 we do not feel that
either will give accurate readings for 16-
second exposures at f/2.
| currently own a 214 x 214 Rolleicord
with which | am generally satisfied. |
would, however, like a camera with in-
terchangeable lenses and am consider-
ing the 214 x 214 Kalimar reflex. Would
picture quality be as good as with my
present Rollei? Or, should | buy a 35mm
single lens reflex? How do 35mm and
2144 x 214 negatives compare for en-
larging purposes—to prints of about
16 x 20, for example?—J. P. Stewart,
Rochester, N. Y.
Optical performance of the Rollei and
Kalimar reflex 214 x 214 cameras is
about equal. However, we do feel that
mechanical durability of the Rollei is
superior. The choice between 35mm
and 214 x 214% is largely a personal one.
However, should you want to enlarge
to 16 x 20, the 214 negative would pro-
duce superior prints in most cases.
The Robin cameras have been widely
advertised by Peerless and Willoughby.
I haven’t been able to find a report on
them. Can you tell me something about
TO HANDLE
OT
the quality of the Robin with f/1.9 lens
in particular?—R. Kelly, Brooklyn, N. Y.
We haven’t tested the Robin as such.
MODERN policy is not to test equipment
unless it’s nationally distributed. Robin
is a personal brand name of Grayson-
Robinson, owner of the Peerless and
Willoughby camera stores. The camera
is actually the Neoca, which we tested
some time ago with the 45mm f/2.8
Neokor lens and found to be a good
value.
I am interested in shooting marching
bands and landscapes. The Praktica
FX2 single lens reflex seems like a good
choice from an economic point of view,
but I’m also interested in the full size
and Baby Rolleiflexes. How good is the
Praktica? Would you buy it in preference
to the other two cameras? In the event
that | decide on one of the Rolleis,
which of the tele adapters made by
various firms would you recommend?—
A. L. Triggs, Melvern, Kansas.
Frankly, we can’t recommend the Prak-
tica FX2 since it has been discontinued
and did have various shutter troubles.
We definitely feel that the Baby Rollei-
flex would be the best choice since it
sells for less than $60 including case
and flash gun at Montgomery Ward &
Co. However, telephoto adapters for
non-interchangeable twin-lens reflexes
do measureably downgrade the image,
so we can’t recommend you use them.
Which of these three enlargers would
you recommend for 35mm and 214 x
21% on the basis of construction com-
pactness and ability to produce good
results: Durst 606 with Schneider Com-
ponar f/4.5, Meopta Opemus I! with
Belar f/4.5, or Primos (non-autofocus)
with Schneider Componar?—H. J.
Billia, Bronx, N. Y.
We'd pick the Durst 606.
Which would you choose—the Miranda
D with f/2.8 preset lens or the Petri
Penta with f/2 preset?——J. D. Mathiason,
Wheaton, Minn.
We'd buy the Miranda D rather than the
Petri. The Miranda can later be fitted
with automatic lenses if you desire. Also,
the particular Petri you mention is a dis-
continued camera.
My Pentacon 35mm camera shutter is
operating at only one speed—1/50
sec. and I'd like to trade it in. Can you
suggest a camera that will allow me to
use the preset lenses | now have?—
F. E. Rimback, Livermore, Calif.
We'd suggest a camera such as the
Pentax H-1 which has the same thread
as your Pentacon. Since you already own
preset lenses and presumably won't
need a camera which has an automatic
diaphragm, the recently discontinued
Petri Penta—also with the same thread
— is a good buy in your case.
I've heard two different stories on the
interchangeability of Canon and Leica
lenses. Some say there’s no difference
between the mounts and others are sure
that interchangeability is not perfect.
Who is right?—I. Pelech, Watertown,
Mass.
The film plane-to-lens mount flange dis-
tance on properly adjusted threaded
Leica and Canon models are precisely
the same. Therefore, the threaded lenses
of one camera will work with the range-
finder of the other without difficulty.
| am trying to decide between a 50mm
f/4.5 or f/4 Schneider Componon and
the 50mm f/2.8 Nikkor enlarging lenses.
Friends have told me that the Nikkor is
“too fast.” How do they compare for
color work?—L. G. Lowe, New Orleans,
La.
We can’t imagine how an enlarging lens
could be too fast. Actually, a maximum
aperture of f/2.8 would make the lens
easier to focus since more light is trans-
mitted to the easel. We would judge the
performance of the Componon and the
Nikkor to be equal and both would be
excellent for color work.
IN NEXT MONTH’S
MODERN
How lenses affect color.
| have a Praktica 35mm _ camera
equipped with a 45mm f/2.8 Hexatar
lens. Can you compare it to a f/2.9
Meyer Trioplan, f/1.9 Meyer Primoplan
and f/2.8 Tessar?—J. O. Rhinemiller,
Huron, Ohio.
Sorry, we have no information on the
Hexatar lens. However, we feel that the
Meyer Trioplan f/2.9 and Meyer Primo-
plan f/1.9 are barely acceptable lenses
except at extremely small apertures.
They definitely do not compare with the
f/2.8 Tessar, a far superior lens.
I’ve been shooting Kodachrome I! with
my Argus C44. At appropriate apertures
using 1/30 and 1/60 sec. results are
excellent. At 1/300, with the aperture
adjusted to give the same exposure, the
image is definitely overexposed. Is this
one of the idiosyncrasies of the film?—
H. J. Rice, Detroit, Mich.
No. We'd hazard an educated guess
your C44 shutter is at fault. At 1/300
sec. it’s operating a bit sluggishly. Have
it checked by a camera technician.

Should You Buy A Used Camera
Without Flash Synchronization?
Compiled by A. C. — ow York City Rush Photo Repair,
Is it worthwhile to buy a camera which does not have
flash sync built in and have the synchronization mecha-
nism added? The answer to that is a tentative “‘yes” which
may be a definite “‘yes’”’—if: the price of the camera is ~
more than $50 and it is in all other ways suitable for your
purposes; if you shoot flash only occasionally; if you can’t
buy another equally good camera with factory installed
sync for the price of the old non-sync camera plus the
cost of installing sync; if you or your photo dealer know ~
a reliable repairman who can do a good installation job.
However, if you do a lot of flash work, some with bulbs ©
and some with speed light, then you’d better save your ©
money to buy a camera with factory installed sync for all
kinds of flash work. i
Here’s a list of the various types of sync which might
be added to an old camera, plus recommendations and ©
costs. The internal installations are of the simplest type, |
using a single switch. If you want a safety switch to pre- |
vent accidental flashing (focal-plane shutters only), add ™
about 50 percent to the cost of the installation.
Type 1: internal contact points with zero delay. That is, |
the electrical circuit is completed at the instant the shutter
blades or curtains are’ wide open. Commonly called “X” |
sync, this is the easiest type to install in a non-sync”
shutter. It is most useful in a leaf-type shutter. You can |
use electronic flash at any speed; at slow shutter speeds
(up to about 1/30 sec.) any type of flashbulb may be-
used. It can be added successfully to all models of the’
Compur shutter, to most Prontors, and to t‘ie better grade
Japanese makes. Approximate cost range is $15 to $25. |
For focal-plane shutters, X sync is desirable if you plan™
to use electronic flash mainly. If your main concern is”
with flashbulbs, Type 2 or 4 (below) may be more useful.)
X sync can be added successfully to practically any 35mm ™
or roll film camera with focal-plane shutter. Approximate ©
cost range is $18 to $40.
Type 2: Internal contact points with 20-millisecond dela
That is, the circuit is completed .017 to .020 secon
before the shutter-blades or curtains are wide open. This”
type of sync is designed for use only with Class M bulbs -
and leaf-type shutters, and Class FP bulbs and focal-plane;
shutters. Unless you have definite reason for sticking ~
clusively to flashbulbs, it is inadvisable to install this ty
of sync in a leaf shutter (except in conjunction with X7
sync). It is, however, quite usable with 35mm focal-plané
shutters. Approximate cost range is $18 to $40. F
Type 3: Internal contact points with 3-millisecond delay.
That is, the circuit is completed about .003 seconds before
the shutter blades or curtains are wide open. This is for
use only with Class F (SM or SF) flashbulbs. It is inad
visable to install such sync, as the Class F bulbs may 6
used satisfactorily with X sync (Type 1, above).
Type 4: External contact points, ag by move
of a shutter speed setting ring, or similar part of the cam
era mechanism. These are useful mainly for synchroni
focal-plane shutters. Some types let you use high shutter
speeds with FP bulbs; others provide a version of ‘“‘opé
flasi”’ for speed light or flashbulbs. Wide range of prices
5: External solenoid to actuate shutter. These
only with set-and-release shutters, preferably of the
type, and are for use only with flashbulbs, generally C’
M. This type of sync is virtually obsolete today, and it
inadvisable to install it on a camera (except for sof
Press types) unless there is compelling reason to do $
Type 6: Mechanical devices which screw into the |
release socket. These are of three kinds: (1) So-callé
“passive” synchronizers actuated by the shutter, aft
it is tripped. These are inexpensive and may be us
with an old self-cocking shutter for an occasional flas
(2) Cable release incorporating a mechanical time dela}
(3) Cable release actuated by solenoid. All three syste
are of relatively limited utility.
RANGEFINDER 35MM
Unless otherwise noted, all cameras in this section have a single-window range-viewfinder with a coincident-
type rangefinder; single-stroke film advance, shutter-cocking lever located at or near the camera top; a rewind
crank/knob on camera top. All focal-plane shutters are cloth unless noted. ST indicates a self timer.
Auto frame counter indicates self-setting.

THE EDIXA-MAT C:
AN SLR WITH METER
Manufacturer's specifications:
Edixa-mat C 35mm_ eye-level
single-lens reflex. Lens: 50mm
f/1.9 Xenon with stops to f/22,
focusing to 1% ft. Shutter: Cloth
focal-plane with speeds from
1-1/1000 sec. plus B, FPX sync.
Viewing: Interchangeable eye-
level prism finder with ground-
glass screen and split-prism range-
finder. Other features: Built-in ex-
posure meter; internal automatic,
instant-return diaphragm; rapid-
return mirror; depth-of-field pre-
viewer; manual reset frame counter;
shutter release safety lock. Price:
$299.50. Importer: Edixa Camera
Co., 10 S. Second Ave., Mt. Vernon,
New York.
The Edixa-mat body is basically the
same as that of the Edixa Reflex,
which was reported in the August 1958
“Modern Tests."" The main differences
are that the newer camera has a
rapid-return mirror in addition to the
fully automatic diaphragm, it has a
different standard lens, and it costs
about $30 less. The Edixa-mat comes
in three versions: the B is the basic
model, the C has an improved built-in
exposure meter, and the D has an ad-
justable self timer.
Mechanically, the camera operates
smoothly and easily. The rapid wind
lever with its 180° throw is among the
sweetest-moving we've handled, and
the front shutter release is among the
most sensitive. Of course, since the
body does remain much the same as
that of the Edixa Reflex, there's still a
rewind knob instead of a rapid lever,
and there are two setting dials, fast-
and slow-range, for the non-linear
shutter speeds.
What we said of the Edixa Reflex’
finder image applies just as well to
that of the Edixa-mat: It ‘was exceed-
ingly bright and had no fall-off of
sharpness or brightness at the image
corners. The centrally located split-
image rangefinder worked clearly
with both halves of the image moving
out of alignment when the camera
was out of focus."’ In addition, the
Edixa-mat features a flag that ap-
pears in the finder to warn you when
the shutter is not cocked.
The exposure meter offers a dual
brightness range, with a hinged baffle
over the meter window that is raised
or lowered accordingly. The meter
proved to give sensitive and accurate
readings in a low-light level requiring
the equivalent of f/2.8 at 1/50 sec.
with E.1. 400.
Our tests of the 50mm f/1.9 Xenon
lens showed that central sharpness
was good at f/1.9 with much fall-off
at the edges. Between f/4 and f/5.6
sharpness was very good with some
fall-off in the corners. Overall sharp-
ness decreased slightly at smaller
apertures.
Some of the corner sharpness fall-
off found with this lens is caused by
curvature of field. At all but moder-
ately close focusing distances this
effect is slight.—W.H.J.
FUJICA 35EE: SEMI-AUTO
TO ELECTRIC EYE
Manufacturer's specifications:
Fujica 35EE 35mm rangefinder elec-
tric-eye camera. Lens: 45mm f/1.9
Fujinon with stops to f/22, focus-
ing to 2.5 ft. Shutter: Fuji Snychro
MXL with switch-over from fully
automatic to semi-automatic to
manual with speeds from 1 to
1/1000 sec., plus B, MX sync.
Viewing: Brightline framefinder
with coupled rangefinder, auto-
matic parallax correction. Other
features: Built-in exposure meter
coupled to lens and shutter speed
controls for E.1. 10 to 200; low-light
warning signal in viewfinder;
knurled wheel on back of camera
operates focusing; rapid advance
lever on bottom; rapid rewind
crank on left side; automatic zero
resetting frame counter. Price:
$119.95, case $11.95. Importer:
Fuji Photo Optical Products Inc., 111
Fifth Ave., New York 3, N. Y. .
In basic design, the Fujica 35EE is
similar to the Fujicas previously re-
viewed in Modern Tests (Fujica
35-SE, November, 1959; Fujica 35-
ML, October 1958). Film is advanced
by the same rapid wind lever on the
bottom of the camera; focusing is with
right thumb turning a similar knurled
wheel on camera back; the 45mm
#/1.9 Fujinon lens is the same as that
on the 35-SE; rapid rewind crank is
in the same position, on the camera
side. The one important difference is
in the exposure control system: the
semi-automatic mechanism of the
35-SE has been replaced by a fully
automatic electric eye system. When
set on automatic, you choose the
shutter speed, the 35EE does the rest.
The electric eye system does not
permit using the full range of shutter
speeds with every exposure index.
With E.1. 200 film the slowest speed
you can set is 1/30 sec.; with E.1. 100
film, the slowest speed is 1/15 sec.,
etc. However, if you are using the
(Continved on page 130)
129
MODERN
TESTS
(Continued from page 129)
camera on semi-automatic you can
use the de-coupling release and set
the slow speeds manually.
The manufacturer's use of the term
‘‘semi-automatic’’ calls for some ex-
planation. Conventionally, semi-auto-
matic refers to the system in which the
photographer sets the aperture (or
the shutter), then adjusts the shutter
(or the aperture) to match two needles
or line a single needle up with a
notch appearing in a window on top
of the camera and/or in the view-
finder. In the semi-automatic system
of the 35EE you choose your shutter
speed and the meter needle on top
of the camera indicates the proper f-
number which you must set manually.
The limitation on speeds with various
E.I. settings holds when using the cam-
era on semi-automatic; and if you use
the de-coupling release to set a slower
speed the meter ceases to operate.
Here, you would have to rely on your
experience or an accessory meter to
guide your exposure choice.
Our tests of the built-in meter
showed that it was accurate down to
a reading of f/1.9 at 1/30 second
for the highest exposure index setting
of 200.
Lens tests of the 45mm f/1.9
Fujinon (as reported in Modern
Tests, November, 1959) indicated that
at f/1.9 sharpness is acceptable at
the center with some sharpness fall-
off and flare at the edges. At f/5.6
overall sharpness is excellent and
flare seemed to be nonexistent. Sharp-
ness remained excellent as the lens
was stopped down to f/22. Some of
the corner fall-off with this lens is
caused by curvature of field. At all but
moderately close focusing distances,
this effect is slight.—P.C.
AT LAST: PRAKTINA IIA
35MM PRISM REFLEX
Manufacturer’s specifications:
Praktina IIA 35mm _ eye-level
single-lens reflex. Lens: Inter-
130
changeable 50mm f/2 Carl Zeiss
Jena Flexon with stops to f/22 and
focusing to 18 in. Shutter: Cloth
focal-plane with speeds from 1 to
1/1000 sec., plus B, FPX sync.
Viewing: Interchangeable eye-
level prism reflex with interchange-
able focusing screen and central
rangefinder. Other features: Auto-
matic diaphragm; provision for
previewing depth of field; acces-
sory bottom rapid wind lever;
separate direct optical finder; all
shutter speeds on non-rotating dial;
provision for motor drive. Price:
Less than $220. Importer: Stand-
ard Camera Corp., 319 Fifth Ave-
nue, New York 16, N. Y.
Six years after the factory's an-
nouncement of this new, improved,
more automatic Praktina IIA, the cam-
era has arrived in the U.S. While this
may seem rather an extraordinary
interval, there is a vast gain for the
purchaser. This is no flash-in-the-pan,
hot-off-the-designer’s-board experi-
mental model. It works. It’s been
available for years in Europe and, if
it had any major bugs, they've been
ironed out long ago.
First, how does it compare with the
original Praktina FX model? To the
casual observer they seem identical—
the body casting is the same, controls
are in the same place, prisms are in-
terchangeable between the two
models. Only the new lens in its new
mount (the FX model had a 58mm f/2
Biotar lens from Carl Zeiss Jena) seems
to give the camera away.
Actually there are many interior
and a few important exterior differ-
ences. The diaphragm not only shuts
automatically when the very smooth
and handy front shutter release is
pressed, but it need not be recocked
to full aperture after each exposure.
When you wind shutter and film, the
diaphragm reopens automatically.
Unfortunately, although the very
positive and admirably large diameter
breech lock lens mount is exactly the
same, the semi-automatic lenses of the
old camera won't work on the IIA and
the IIA’s lenses can't be used on the
FX. Reason: the interior pin on the new
model draws back to close the dia-
phragm, while the pin on the FX moves
forward. Of course, all preset or
accessory lenses will work on either
camera model.
The view through the prism is
definitely brighter than on the FX. (You
can tell an old prism from the new one
easily. The IIA prism has no leather
covering on front, but has a satin
finish with the letters KW instead). The
focusing screen is slightly difficult to
see completely if you wear glasses but
is adequately bright, and there is a
tendency for the edges to darken un-
less you have your eye centered in
the finder. The split-image rangefinder
is efficient although the dark line be-
tween the two finder halves is slightly
disturbing.
The new lens focused smoothly.
Veteran Praktina owners may find that
the leather instead of knurled metal
finish of the focusing ring requires
some practice to operate as assuredly.
There’s a very handy and efficient
depth-of-field preview button on the
side of the lens mount. When pushed
it causes the lens to close down. The
lens reopens instantly when you re-
move your finger.
Aside from a special new sync indi-
cator pointer, the new IIA has all the
other features of the FX.
It would be purposeless to attempt
to evaluate the Praktina IIA feature for
feature against the vast rash of newer
prism reflexes. It does not have a
rapid-return mirror, rapid rewind
crank, instant-reopen diaphragm,
automatic frame counter. What it does
offer is proven reliability plus a num-
ber of important accessories, includ-
ing motor drive and remote control.
It is one of the only cameras with an
internal automatic diaphragm that can
be used automatically with extension
tubes or bellows.
Among the new accessories which
fit the IIA and the older FX as well,
the Exposure Meter Prismatic Finder
(less than $50) seems most useful,
although it was not available for test-
ing. We did, however, try out the
bottom accessory rapid wind lever
($8) which resembles the one built
into the Kodak Retina cameras and
compares quite favorably with it.
In actual shooting we found that the
IIA shutter was relatively quiet and
the disturbing ratcheting of the FX
has been considerably lessened. The
new Flexon lens (similar to the Zeiss
Pancolar now available for the Exakta
VX IIA) is an improved version of the
58mm f/2 Biotar. It delivers a slightly
smaller subject image because of the
shorter focal-length, but is superior in
quality.
We found that the 50mm f/2
Flexon produced very good sharpness
wide open with some sharpness fall-
off at the corners. At £/5.6 sharpness
was very good with some fall-off at
the corners. Overall sharpness de-
eS =
at ohn oh ach et ath @ 2 ae
wT
creased slightly at smaller apertures.
Some of the corner sharpness fall-
off found with this lens is caused by
curvature of field. At all but moder-
ately close focusing distances this
effect is slight.
Other completely automatic lenses
available for the IIA model but not
tested by us are 35mm f/2.8 Zeiss
Jena Flektogon and Schacht Super-
Travegon; 80mm and 120mm Carl
Zeiss Jena Biometer lenses.—H.K.
YASHICA RAPIDE: NEW
LOOK IN SINGLE-FRAME
Manufacturer’s specifications:
Yashica Rapide 35mm single-frame
camera. Lens: 28mm f/2.8 Yash-
inon with apertures to f/22, focus-
ing to 3 ft. Shutter: Copal-SV with
speeds from 1 to 1/500 sec. plus
B, MX sync., self timer. Viewing:
Bright frame with parallax correct-
ing merkings. Other features:
built-in uncoupled exposure meter;
plunger rapid wind, folding rewind
crank. Price: Under $60, case extra.
importer: Yashica, Inc., 234 Fifth
Ave., New York 1, New York.
It’s fairly obvious that the single-
frame 35mm camera which makes
forty 1x% in. vertical pictures on a
20-exposure 35mm film roll needn't
stick to the old standard horizontal
camera design. The first single-framer
to investigate the mew mysterious con-
tours is the Yashica Rapide, which has
the same size and weight as an 8-tran-
sistor portable radio. It’s a handsome,
clean, exceedingly sturdy unit and
there seems to be more kinship with
that transistor radio than you might
think. To set the controls for exposure
you hold the camera with its lens
pointed upward and the top of the
camera pointed at the subject. Rea-
son? The selenium exposure meter cell
face is mounted in the top of the cam-
era rather than in the front. You read
the number of the band opposite the
meter needle and set this number on
the lens mount, twirling the mount as
you would a radio dial.
The meter handles film with expo-
sure indexes from 10 to 800. It's suf-
ficiently accurate outdoors for color
film and can read an exposure at
f/2.8 at 1/30 sec. with a film having
a 400 exposure index. Once you've
got the number in the lens mount win-
dow, you can change shutter speed or
aperture. Just be sure that when you
do, you change the other control to
maintain the number. Then you guess
your distance and revolve the focusing
ring to match your guess.
When ready to take a shot, turn the
camera around and point the lens at
your subject, look through the bright
finder (which is sometimes difficult to
see completely in bright light), and
press the extremely quiet and smooth
shutter release. To advance film and
recock the shutter you pull downwards
on a leather thong attached to a metal
plunger. Wild, eh?
As an interesting technical point,
this camera has no sprocket drive. By
using a large takeup drum the sprocket
drive has been eliminated and the
drum itself measures out the film. To
insure no overlap of shots you get a
comfortable spacing width between
shots. It works!
Nobody says that the old dog of a
camera fan will take to this innovation
as naturally as a duck takes to water.
Despite all of my entreaties that this
single-frame is a heck of a lot bigger
than many double-framer 35s I've
used, | couldn't stop vast hordes of
wives, mothers, sisters and present
non-camera enthusiast males from
thinking that the Rapide was the cut-
est, nicest designed, most intelligently
planned, etc., etc., they'd ever seen.
Does it take pictures? Oh yes!
While we wouldn't recommend the
lens for mural photographs, you can
make adequately sharp enlargements
even to 11x14. And projection of
transparencies to 40x40 in. pleased
everyone, even if sharpness suffered
when compared to transparencies
made with, say, a 35mm Yashica Pen-
tamatic.—H.K.
QUICK-LITE: HIGH VOLT
UNIT WITH BUILT-IN AC
Manufacturer's specifications:
Yashica Quick-Lite QL-II electronic
flash unit. Operation: 270-volt dry
cell battery handle. Recycling
time: 4 to 5 sec. Flash duration:
1/2000 sec. Other features: 30-
watt-second output; 50° angle of
coverage; 6000K color temperature;
built-in ready light, flash calcula-
tor. Price: $29.95. Importer: Yas-
hica, Inc., 50-17 Queens Blvd.,
Woodside 77, N. Y.
Just to prove you can’t keep a good
idea down, Yashica has come out with
the Quick-Lite, its version of the small
electronic flash unit that operates on a
high-voltage battery-handle (the first
of these units was the Walz Autoflash
V, reported in ‘Modern Tests,"’ May
1961). The Quick-Lite also operates
off ordinary 110-volt household AC
but, instead of an accessory AC
adapter, this unit has an AC converter
built right into the flash head. All you
need is the 17-ft. AC cord.
Into a round socket in the bottom of
the small, rectangular (234 x 3% -in.)
flash head you plug the combination
battery-handle. Then connect the
whole unit to the camera by means of
the bracket, flick the switch on the
right side of the head to “‘DC"’ and
you have a regular electronic flash.
On DC the Quick-Lite has the usual
advantages of the non-rechargeable
high-voltage type units—fast recycl-
ing (4 to 5 sec.) and plenty of flashes
(up to 1000).
If you want to save the battery
and can confine your shooting to
within 17 ft. from an AC outlet, flip
the switch to “AC,” plug the special
cord into the receptacle on the left
side of the flash head (the other end,
of course, plugs into the wall outlet)
and you're ready to go. You can leave
the battery on the unit while operating
on AC (the whole unit weighs just 22
oz.). Or, you can take off the battery,
plug a small adapter into the socket
and slip this adapter into the camera's
accessory shoe. As the flash head
alone weighs 12 oz., this gives you a
compact, light unit. Warmup and re-
cycling time on AC is 2 to 3 sec. and,
of course, the number of flashes is un-
limited. This can make for some pretty
swift and extensive picture taking.
The coiled sync. cord can be
stretched to 24 in., so it's possible to
use bounce flash, off AC, by slipping
the head out of the accessory shoe
and holding it in one hand, pointed
in the desired direction. It’s more
cumbersome, but still possible, to
bounce flash when using the DC bat-
tery-handle.

NEVER BEFORE IN HISTORY has there been such a glorious
T glut of used cameras in every shape and form (and
condition). If you’ve been holding off from buying
Ms a [ ai that extra 35mm body, spare 214 reflex or whatever
else, there’s no time like the present buyer’s market to
make the plunge.
AM FRA To see just what top plunge bargains are possible
Associate Editor David Miller donned his average cam-
era fan disguise, made the grand tour of a dozen or so
used camera outlets and came back with what we think
ere some fabulous buys in cameras which are generally
available. In the Used Camera Buying Guide section of
this month’s issue you'll find complete technical descrip-
tions of all our prizes (except the Argus A and Pentacon
F). Here we'll tell you just why these are top bargains
and just how much these cameras were selling for
where we found them. Then go and hunt yourself.—H.x.

A. PENTACON .£ WITH 35MM F/2 PRESET BIOTAR: The
original 1950 prism tin lizzy marches on in the form of
the original eye-level reflex. (At that time it cost $475.)
The F model MODERN picked up at Willoughby Camera
Stores Corp., 110 West 32 St., New York 1, N. Y., at $69
in what appeared to be new condition (save for a mysteri-
ous missing piece of front leather covering) has the semi-
automatic diaphragm interior collar which would allow
you to use it with semi-automatic Praktica lenses and with
most semi-automatic Pentax lenses as well. The preset
Biotar (many Biotars are not marked as such because of
certain importation restrictions, instead are marked with
a simple B) of course doesn’t hook up to the semi-auto-
matic diaphragm but you are getting a Biotar and you can
add semi-automatic lenses later. Warning in buying Penta-
cons: check all shutter speeds carefully. Test Biotars. The
unmarked Pentacon presets can vary in quality. If the cam-
era’s price is still slightly higher than you want to pay,
look for a Pentacon with the 50mm f/2.8 Tessar. But be-
ware of the 58mm f/1.9 Primoplan, which is doggy.
B. CONTAX Ila WITH 50MM F/1.5 SONNAR: Dreamed of
owning a super-quiet shutter in an almost-new Contax
with high speed Sonnar fens but shied away from the cost?
MODERN found one at \!Inredeemed Pledge Sales Co., Inc.,
64 Third Ave., New York 3, N. Y., for $69.50 with a body
in “‘as new” condition. Some sticky material on the chrome
and one rangefinder window disappeared nicely after we
applied liquid lens cleaner. The lens mount lip showed
some dents and loss of black enamel. These seemed to
have been caused by a poorly fitting, threaded filter (which
came with the camera). Although the Ila was recently dis-
continued, the vast array of accessories and lenses is
readily available.
C. VOIGTLANDER PROMINENT WITH 50MM F1/5 NOKTON
LENS: The 50mm f/1.5 Nokton was justly considered one
of the finest speed lenses ever made and the Prominent,
although slightly large, was a rugged, capable leaf-shutter
rangefinder with a good range-viewfinder. The accessory
35mm, 100mm and 150mm lenses are also outstanding
because of the leeway given the lens designer by the over-
large leaf-shutter aperture on the Prominent. We obtained
our Prominent from Wall St. Camera Exch., 120 Wall St.,
New York 5, N. Y., for $120 and felt it to be a splendid buy.
(Continued on page 164)
MOST PEOPLE would never think of buying a used 8 or
16mm motion picture projector. But take a quick trip
through any fair-sized photo shop and you'll see some
pretty substantial machines selling for somewhat less
than substantial prices. You won’t find many of the
newer innovations—automatic threading, built-in edi-
tors or condenserless optical systems. But that some of
the machines discontinued as much as 20 or more years
ago were built along heroic lines is proven by the fact
that quite a number are still in use. The photo above
shows a selection of machines we found in photo shops
—and in the possession of MODERN staffers. One or two
were only recently discontinued—the Bolex and Bell &
Howell 8mm machines. However, it’s a good idea to
check with a local camera repair shop to find out if parts
are still available for the machine you’re interested in
should you need them in the future.
A. AMPRO 16MM OPTICAL SOUND: This machine is
owned—and ‘still very much operated—by MODERN’s
Controller, Irving Richter. He vows that the sound quality
is every bit as good as the day he bought it—sometime
during the 1930’s. While hardly the most portable 16mm
machine ever made—the Ampro was built to last. What's
more it boasted features that still come in mighty handy
today—a built-in public address system (if you decide you
don’t want to show 16mm sound movies after all) and a
self-contained case that literally wraps itself around the
machine.
Specifications: 750-watt larnp; 114-in. (semi-wide-angle)
f/1.6 lens; rheostat controlled fps speeds; cable driven
reel arms; 1600-ft. reel capacity; on-off, rewind, reverse
and forward, lamp, pilot light, volume (three), tone con-
trols; microphone and phono inputs (for public address
use); separate speaker. Used price range, $135 to $230
(depending on model).
B. KODASCOPE MODEL G SILENT 16MM: We landed this
one after briefly mentioning to Technical Editor, Edward
Meyers, that we were doing a story on used projectors.
Meyers persuaded his father to lend us the machine. While
the machine is somewhat short on lamp wattage—only
300— its black, shiny metallic finish is indeed impressive.
More important, it’s another machine that exhibits a real
craftsmanlike approach to manufacturing. There are no
rough edges, flimsy parts, and everything works with a
click of authority.
Specifications: 300-watt lamp, 2-in. f/1.6 lens; rheostat
controlled speeds; cable driven reel arms; 400-ft. reel ca-
pacity; forward, reverse, rewind switch; threading light,
tilt control, snap lock film guides on sprocket wheels, sin-
gle frame projection. Used price range, $35 to $50.
C. AMPRO FUTURIST 8MM: We stumbled over this
Ampro—literally—in the back storeroom of Olden Camera
Co., 1265 Broadway, New York 1, New York. It’s still one
of the lightest 8mm projectors ever made and no chore
at all to carry about. Threading is quick, simple and safe.
Specifications: 750-watt lamp; 25mm f/1.6 lens; rheostat
controlled speeds; single frame; internally geared reel
arms; 400-ft. reel capacity; single on-off motor and lamp
switch; forward, reverse and rewind controi; snap-in film
guides on sprocket drives. Used price range, $85 to $90.

the recycling time between flashes in-
creases toward the end of the battery's
life (said to be 1000 flashes) and the
light output decreases. As with all dry
cell batteries, storage in a cool, dry
place when not in use is best. With
the Quick-Lite you can still use the
AC while in the process of getting a
new battery ($9.95). Batteries are
small (53%, in. long, 1% x 1%) and
light (10 oz.) enough to carry around
in pocket or gadget bag if you think
you'll need a spare.
The unit handles well during picture
taking, except for the usual discomfort
of bounce flashing. With the Quick-
Lite we tested, we found 25 to be the

of photography magazines which ap-
peared 25 years ago, you would find
a number of enlargers advertised
which sold anywhere from $5 to $20.
These were pretty primitive affairs.
Not so the 35mm Spiratone en-
larger. This machine's most extraor-
dinary single feature is that it costs
just $24.95—the equivalent of the
prewar $5 or $10—and makes amaz-
ingly good 11 x 14 enlargements
from 35mm. We tested this enlarger
against one of the most precise, ex-
quisitely made and relatively expen-
sive 35mm enlargers available today,
and while you could see the difference
in the sharpness of prints (made with
each enlarging lens stopped down to
f/8) if you examined them closely,
this difference was not instantaneously
apparent to the casual glance.
Our tests made with this enlarger
and the f/3.5 Accura lens indicated
that at £/3.5 (widest aperture) illumi-
nation decreased somewhat at the
corners of the projected image, but
such fall-off is common with all but the
very best enlarging lenses when the
lens is wide open: when it was stopped
down to f/5.6-f/8—the standard ap-
ertures for making prints to ensure
maximum sharpness—illumination
seemed perfectly even. The largest
size print which can be made with this
enlarger from a 35mm negative pro-
jected on the baseboard is about
12x18 in. If larger prints are desired,
you can of course rotate the lamp-
house 180° and project onto the floor.
In addition to using the lens avail-
able through Spiratone, we did make
a few tests with a top-notch enlarging
lens and the results were excellent.
While we do not recommend this
enlarger to the experienced worker
interested in the finest quality prints, it
is highly recommended for any be-
ginner or intermediate worker.—P.C.

It's been several years since we
first tested the Camex Reflex. Basi-
cally the camera looks the same as it
did in 1957. But the addition of the
behind-the-lens semi-automatic elec-
tric-eye system has added much to its
already great flexibility.
The Camex is really part of an
entire 8mm motion picture system and
offers one of the widest—if not the
widest—range of accessories in its.
field. You can have your choice of
microscope adapters, giant zoom
lenses, wide-angle and tele lenses,
extension tubes, titling stands, etc.
One reason why it is considered a
serious movie maker's camera—or for
the man who can afford the price even
for casual shooting—is its unique
through-the-lens focusing system. It's
the only 8mm with a mirror shutter.
Here's how it works. There's a
mirror on the lower half of the shutter.
When the shutter is closed—with no
light going to the film—all the light
coming through the lens strikes the
mirror. It is reflected to a prism and
then to a series of viewfinder objec-
tives and to the viewer's eye.
When the shutter is open—allow-
ing light to go to the film—the view-
finder is blacked out. But since this
happens at a fairly rapid rate—from
8 to 32 fps—the slight flickering effect
is hardly noticeable. Naturally, the
faster the fps the less flickering.
The main advantage of the mirror
system is that when the lens is closed
down, there's less light loss to the
finder compared with straight prism
systems.
The electric eye reads constantly—
despite the fact that the shutter is
closed part of the time. A prism di-
rects part of the light to the cell. You
adjust the lens diaphragm until a
needle is centered in the finder. A
battery system (two small mercury
cells) keeps current flowing even when
light is cut off from the energy-gen-
erating selenium photoelectric cell.
Thus the needle remains in correct
position once the diaphragm is set.
In our tests the behind-the-lens cell

worked well most of the time—provic
ing good exposure readings for most
sidelight and other tough light read-
ing situations. However, with back-
light, even when the field was
narrowed by using a tele to take the
reading as with most automatic and
semi-automatic electric-eye cameras,
some loss of shadow detail was noted.
The meter, even though it’s behind the
lens, is subject to influence from strong
light around a backlit scene.
The behind-the-lens cell is par-
ticularly useful for shots made with
extension tubes. The f-number can be
adjusted direcily from the electric-eye
reading without any need to become
involved in compensation factors.
We found that the camera motor
did not come to full speed instantly
when we pressed the shutter release
button—resulting in slight over-ex-
posure of the first few frames of a shot.
Lenses for the Camex have bayonet
locking mounts. To release the lens
you push a button at the top of the
camera. Lens seating is positive and
lenses can be interchanged rapidly.
Footage and frame counters proved
dependable during our tests.
Tests on this lens and camera
showed that the 12 %mm f/1.9 Cinor
was acceptably sharp at f/1.9 with
some corner fall-off. Sharpness was
good at f/2.8 with some fall-off. At
£/8 overall sharpness was excellent.
Overall sharpness decreased slightly
at f/16.
We also tested the 75mm f/3.5
Berthiot. At £/3.5 the 75mm lens was
acceptably sharp with some corner
fall-off. At £/8, £/11, overall sharp-
ness was excellent. Overall sharpness
decreased slightly at f/16.—M.A.M.

It’s been at least 11 years since
Bolex issued a really all-new 8mm
projector. While the M-8 series of ma-
chines were admirable, they left some-
thing to be desired in the way of
refinements—such as still projection
and internal power rewind. The 18-5
has a power rewind and a unique
5 fps projection speed that allows you
a longer look at individual scenes.
The 18-5 bears no resemblance to its
predecessor. It's lighter, smaller, and
much more attractive. The M-8 stood
10% in. high while the 18-5 barely
reaches 8 12 in. And while the M-8 was
a fine performer, the 18-5 is definitely
a better one.
After you erect the reel arms (both
are on top of the projector), threading
the 18-5 is hardly a chore. Film snaps
into place around the sprocket wheel
drive and through the gate with hardly
any fuss at all.
The Bolex projects normal silent
footage at 18 fps—the European
standard. However, we found that film
shot at 16 fps showed no signs of
accelerated action. In fact, projection
at 18 fps seemed to improve the over-
all image.
Instead of offering a still projection
setting the Bolex has a 5 fps speed for
films shot at normal silent rate. The
effect is amazingly like slow motion,
with aniv a slight lack of frame-to-
frame smooihness. The 5 ips rate is
made possible by the projector's vari-
able shutter. A double-bladed attach-
ment on the shutter divides each of
the three normal openings into three
more openings for a total of 9. The
result is a flashing rate of 45 per sec.,
only three less than at 16 fps—and
virtually flickerless 5 fps projection.
(For more information about projector
shutters see MODERN, October 1961.)
The new Hi-Fi projection lens is a
rather amazing performer. We were
able to project a 9-ft. screen image
with little significant edge fall-off in
sharpness or illumination.—M.A.M.

Only this one takes sound.
Except for the microphone, the
Fairchild Cinephonic looks like any
other 8mm movie camera. It works
like any other, too. With one amaz-
ing difference. This one takes sound!
The Fairchild’s entire recording
mechanism is inside the camera. A
single button controls both pictures
and sound—and there’s no outside
power source to plug into, because
the Fairchild is battery operated.
Even hand winding is eliminated.
To take sound movies, simply give
the microphone to your subject, or
place it close by, in the scene. As
you shoot, sound is recorded “live”
—automatically synchronized with
the action right on the film.
Cinephonic color film comes in
100 ft. rolls, pre-edged with a per-
manent ragnetic recording stripe.
You get superb, lifelike reproduc-
tion of both pictures and sound.
The new Fairchild 8mm sound
camera is priced at $249, including
13mm f/1.8 Cinphar lens. And you
get an introductory roli of Cine-
phonic color film with processing
absolutely free.
Most dealers offer attractive
terms, plus a generous trade-in
allowance on your old silent camera.
Come in for a demonstration soon.

VSstas,
The Bolex people have built an awe-
inspiring amount of ‘pride of owner-
ship” into their $S-221 magnetic-opti-
cal sound projector. It looks slick, pro-
fessional, functional and efficient.
Moreover, the various dials, switches,
and buttons offer promise of great
flexibility—and deliver it.
You can show silent or optical
sound, or record and play back mag-
netic sound films. There are two differ-
ent sound film paths. Both magnetic
and optical sound heads can be by-
passed for showing silent footage.
Txe gate sound head spacing—the
number of frames between the frame
in the gate and the part passing over
the sound head—differs very slightly
from American standard. American
standard for optical sound is 26
frames. The Bolex, as it comes from
the factory, has an optical spacing of
28 frames. However, Paillard, U. S.

How “‘four-track’”’ stereo

The dramatic improvement in sound and new econ-

make new demands on tape . . . make the quality
you find in “‘Scorcn”’ BRAND Tartan® Series Mag-
netic Tapes four times as important! For not every
brand of tape will work satisfactorily on four-track.
THE NARROWER TRACKS used make highest uni-

would not be as noticeable.
FROM THE TAPE MANUFACTURER'S point of view,
slitting the tape to correct width becomes an ex-
tremely critical operation. Close-tolerance precision
characterizes SucTcR® eeanp Tartan Tanes. And
lack of this precision can rendcr a tape useless for
four-track.

MODERN TESTS
(Continued from page 144)
Bolex distributor, can install a smaller
roller which provides a 27-frame
spacing. In actual tests we found no
noticeable loss of lip sync even at the
28-frame sound spacing.
The stroboscopic fps control con-
tributes to the high quality of sound at
both 16 (magnetic oniy) and 24 fas.
inere are two strobe lines, one for
16 and one for 24 fps. When the line
appears to stand still the projector is
running at precisely 16 or 24 fps (de-
pending on selected speed).
Magnetic spacing is 20 frames—
as ugainst American i Oi preciice of
28 frames. However, since few, if any,
magnetic sound films have lip sync,
the difference is academic. We found
that music and commentary sound
tracks recorded at 28 frames on other
machines and then shown on the Bolex
at 20 frames seemed to fall into the
right place despite the difference.
Our tests of sound quality showed
near high fidelity performance at 24
fps on magnetic. Even at 16 fps, per-
formance was exceptional.
Optical sound also proved to be
amongst the finest—if not the finest—
we've heard on any 16mm projector.
One reason. for the excellence of
the optical sound is the fact that the
exciter lamp can be mechanically
centered on the sound track.
The magnetic recording system of-
fers several unique features. Separate
erase and record-playback heads
make it virtually impossible to acci-
dentally destroy a sound track. Separ-
ate volume controls for the inputs and a
built-in mixer provide a means of re-
cording two sounds—voice and music,
for example—at the same time, and
adding fade-in and fade-out effects
right on the projector.
Results of screen image tests proved
to be excellent, showing no significant
sharpness or light fall-off at the cor-
ners of the screen. The S-221 is easily
adaptable for large auditorium pro-
jection through the use of various op-
tional accessories such as a separate
12-in. speaker (a power distributor
makes it possible to run both accessory
and regular speaker at the same time)
and 35mm f/1.3 lens.—M.A.M.

MODERN TESTS
(Continued from page 146)
Bronx River Road, Bronxville, N. Y.
Here is the often rumored, much
heralded new standard lens for the
Exakta from Carl Zeiss of Jena. Im-
portant changes in the original Biotar
design in the second and third ele-
ments, according to the designers not
only reduce the Biotar focal length by
8mm but also improve resolution. In
our tests we found this to be true. The
Pancolar produced very good sharp-
ness at f/2 with some fall-off in
the corners and equally good central
sharpness at f/5.6 with some corner
fall-off. At smaller apertures, there
was a slight decrease in overall sharp-
ness. Some of the corner sharpness
fall-off found with this lens. is caused
by curvature of field. At all but moder-
ately close focusing distances this
effect is slight.
The major improvement, we felt, was
in sharpness. The Biotar lenses we
have tested generally equalled the
Pancolar at f/5.6 but the Pancolar
proved slightly superior in central and
edge resolution wide open.
The lens mount represents a major
change in Jena Zeiss finishing and
diaphragm control. Instead of an all-
chrome mount with built-in lens shade
and heavily knurled focusing knob,
the Pancolar has a satin black finish
and a short-length mount with no built-
in lens shade. The focusing ring, in-
stead of being heavily knurled for
easy grasping, is leather-covered. The
automatic diaphragm of the Biotar is
preset—after each exposure you must
recock the iris to full aperture if you
want the maximum light for ‘focusing.
The new diaphragm closes swiftly as
the pressure on the plunger release
of the lens mount increases, then
opens fully after exposure.
You can preview the depth of field
by pressing the collar around the
shutter release.
With the 58mm Biotar f/2 now sell-
ing at an appealing $80, we feel that
the choice between the older and
newer lenses must be somewhat sub-
jective—automatic vs. semi, built-in
sunshade vs. none, 50mm vs. 58mm,
improvement in performance vs. lower
price. Incidentally. this Pancclar is
identical to the Flexon, available on
the Praktina Ila camera.—H.K.

MODERN TESTS
(Continued from page 148)
most 8mm movie projectors. Lens:
6-element f/2.5 wide-angle.
Screen size: 32 x 4% in. Price:
$14.95. Manufacturer: Hudson
Photographic Industries, Inc., Irv-
ington-on-Hudson, N. Y.
The HPI Projector Scope fits into
your projector lens mount in piace of
the regular lens and provides a
3% x 4%-in. viewing image. The six-
element lens of the Projector Scope
directs the image at a mirror which
reflects it to a ground-glass screen.
The unit fits just about all 8mm pro-
jectors with the exception of the
Baskon and Kodak Brownie machines.
You focus by moving the Scope
forward or back in the projector lens
mount as required.
The lens can be optically aligned
with the gate and lamp by means of
two set screws. A movable rod adjusts
the perpendicular position of the
Scope.
Our tests showed that the screen
image was bright even at the corners
of the ground glass, even under a high
level of room light, and we could
detect no hot spots on the screen. The
sharpness on the ground-glass screen
also proved quite satis’actory. As
many as six people were able to see
the screen easily, even though some
of the people in our audience were at
extreme angles to the projector. The
best viewing distance was about 2 to
6 ft. from the screen.—M.A.M.

the
MOVIE MAKER
by MYRON A. MATZKIN
Sound Part Ill: On location sound
with inexpensive, battery powered
tape recorders.
The amateur in
search of sound
for his home
movies has two
choices: either he
can record the
sounds needed or
buy them already
recorded on tape
or records. The
sound tracks on
many amateur productions are derived
from both sources. First, let’s see what
you can record yourself.
There’s a great deal of satisfaction
in capturing “on location” sound that
matches the image. Field—or loca-
tion—recording once was an involved,
complicated and expensive affair for
the amateur. Professional, self-pow-
ered tape recorders were the only
ones available. These cost (and still
do) as much as $1200. The sound qual-
ity is excellent. However, the price of
perfection is too high for average ama-
teur budgets. Happily, there are today
several relatively low-priced units,
selling in the $100-$200 range, which
are quite capable of delivering accept-
able results. Power is supplied by in-
expensive batteries and the machines
are light enough to be carried easily.
Both Webcor and Grundig-Majestic
make such models. For $200-$350 you
can get more comprehensive machines.
No matter which unit you buy, if it
costs less than $200 or so, you should
plan to buy a better microphone. The
mikes supplied with inexpensive re-
corders usually have a frequency re-
sponse considerably more limited than
the recorder’s capabilities. While there
is no point in buying a mike that is
better than the recorder, you will find
that a medium-priced mike will give
you much truer sound fidelity. Also,
the standard mike may not be quite
rugged enough to take the beating of
location recording.
There are two major types of micro-
phones that you should know about—
omnidirectional and cardioid.
The omnidirectional microphone re-
cords sound from all directions. It’s
excellent for recording natural outdoor
background noises—street traffic, a
crowd at a bail park. It’s also fine
for voices when they’re coming from
many directions, as at a picnic or a
family group of children and parents
on your front lawn. Voices within 10 ft.
of the subject will record acceptably.
You can capture the sounds of a
car from inside by simply turning on
your recorder.
The cardioid mike has a more direc-
tional pattern, and is thus more selec-
tive in its angle of sound acceptance.
Actually, it has a heart-shaped pickup
pattern (angle of sound acceptance).
Rea the instructions accompanying
the ..ike and. experiment to find the
best distance and angle te place it from
the particular sound source. Cardioid
mikes can be used indoors where they
cut down on the effect of ambient
noises (reverberations, and other ex-
traneous sounds) outside the mike’s
selective pick-up pattern. While they
can be used outdoors, some cardioid
mikes are so sensitive that they tend
to pick up wind hitting the mike. Also,
since they are extremely sensitive,
they may pick up secondary sounds
which you may barely notice—such as
a voice coming over a distant loud-
speaker—as well as the near voice
which you wish to record. However,
cardioid mikes are quite effective when
attempting to exaggerate the sound
of passing action. For example, motor
race sounds would fade-in, reach maxi-
mum volume when the cars are in front
of the mike and then fade out as the
cars pass by with a greater change in
volume than is actually the case.
When to buy
Some outdoor sounds may be diffi-
cult to record. Relatively low intensity
sounds—the cry of seagulls, for in-
stance, or the chirping of birds—re-
quire rather elaborate preparations.
It might be easier in the long run to
buy special effects records.
There are several sources of special
effects and music designed specifically
for motion picture work. One record-
ing may contain a wide variety of
related sounds—-water lapping against
the shore, seagulls, wind, and so on.
In addition, special music has been re-
corded for fiims to match particular
moods and editing requirements. While
there’s no additional fee other than the
cost of the record for amateur use,
special licensing fees are required if
you show your films professionally.
In addition, there are untold possi-
bilities to be found in any store selling
general recordings. But be careful. The
record company probably won’t have
any objections if you show your film
to friends even at a club function (for
free) but you'll run afoul of copyright
laws if you accept money.—THE END

MOVIE BARGAINS
(Continued from page 135)
D. BOLEX M-8 8MM: Executive Editor
Burt Keppler is an inveterate home
movie maker. We managed to persuade
him to entrust his Bolex with us just
long enough to have its picture taken.
The f/1.3 lens (although the projector
has been replaced with a more modern
version) is still one of the very fastest
available on an 8mm machine.
Specifications: 500-watt lamp; 25mm
f/1.3 lens; rheostat controlled fps
speeds; internally driven take-up reel
arm and cable-drive rewind arm; 400-ft.
reel capacity; snap-in sprocket wheel
guides; single frame; start-stop, motor,
lamp control; tilt and level adjustment;
provision for use with either tape cou-
pler or magnetic sound on film unit.
Used price range, $110 to $115.
E. BELL & HOWELL MODEL 285 16MM
OPTICAL SOUND PROJECTOR: This one
came out of the dark recesses of MOD-
ERN’s own studio—where it still sees
constant service. It has a fine lens, de-
pendable sound amplifier and is light
enough to tempt MODERN staffers into
carting it home on any of the various
commuting lines out of New York City.
Specifications: 1000-watt lamp; 2-in.
f/1.6 lens; 16 and 24 fps; reverse; snap-
in film guides on sprocket drives,
2000-ft. reel capacity; cable driven, re-
movable reel arms; threading lamp, tone
and volume controls; microphone input;
built-in speaker plus provision for addi-
tional, larger speaker. Used price range,
$220 to $250.
F. BELL & HOWELL REGENT 8MM:
This one has been in constant operation
for at least 6 years (along with other
machines) in MODERN’s studio. Not only
has it shown innumerable amateur films
at the office—but gets impressed into
service for home showings by editorial
assistants, secretaries, and the man
next door. So far, it has held up nobly—
without a single repair. The lens, in-
cidentally, compares well with some on
much newer machines.
Specifications: 500-watt lamp, 25mm
f/1.6 lens; rheostat controlled fps
speeds; internally geared reel arms; 400-
ft. capacity; tilt control; rewind, run
switch; single frame. Used price range,
$65 to $85.
G. AMPRO PRECISION A-8 8MM: An-
other of Controller Richter’s ancient but
still sturdy machines. Mr. Richter claims
to have shown some of the first Koda-
chrome 8mm film ever marketed on this
projector. While it looks its age, frame
rate, motor, lens, and light output are
definitely up to par.
Specifications: 500-watt lamp; _1.-in.
f/1.6 lens; rheostat controlled fps
speeds; single frame; internally geared
reel arms; 400-ft. reel capacity; lamp,
motor, forward and reverse controls;
snap-in film guides; tilt control. Used
price range, $70 to $85.
H. VICTOR ANIMATOPHONE MODEL
55 16MM OPTICAL SOUND: This is an-
other machine from the fabulous back
room of Olden Camera Co. One feature
is the removable reel arms and another
is the piggy-back speaker. Actually a
separate unit in a self-contained case—
it latches on to the main projector body
for carrying purposes. Frankly, we think
it might be a good idea to take along
a friend and let him carry the speaker.
Specifications: 1000-watt lamp; 2-in.
f/1.6 lens; 16 and 24 fps, motor and
lamp controls; volume lever and tone
controls; separate speaker in piggy-back
case. Used price range, $135 we a

STILL CAMERA BARGAINS
(Continued from page 133)
D. NIKON $2 WITH 50MM F/1.4 NIK- |
KOR: The present Nikon SP is certainly
more desirable. However, we know a
professional who could afford one but
prefers the exceptionally clear life-size
single picture frame and well defined un-
cluttered rangefinder image of the S2
discontinued 1955-1958 model. Small
disadvantages, such as a dual concen-
tric shutter dial which must be lifted up
to be set, plus a few slightly less-auto-
matic-than-the-SP features, are rather
unimportant. But the Nikkor 50mm
f/1.4 lens is exactly the same as in the
present model and the S2 will take all
the SP or S3 accessory lenses with an
accessory finder. The practically-brand-
new S2 we found at Unredeemed Pledge
Sales Co. was priced at $119.50.
E. ROLLEIFLEX 4 X 4, WITH 60MM F/3.5
XENAR: This little 1957 gem, making 12
Superslide-size shots (1544 x 15%) on
127 film, met an early unkind death
through undeserved character assassi-
nation. It’s a great machine—automatic,
lovely to look at—and a splendid pic-
ture taker bound to become a classic.
Although the used 4 x 4 we uncovered
at Wall St. Camera was $55, brand new
4 x 4s with case and flash cost $58.50
at Montgomery Ward Co.
F. ROLLEIFLEX AUTOMAT 1949 WITH
75MM F/3.5 XENAR: The basic Rollei
design—optics, film transport, parallax-
correcting focusing mechanism—re-
main essentially unchanged since 1951
when this model was discontinued. The
finder lens on the Rollei we turned up
at Unredeemed Pledge Sales Co. isn’t
coated but who cares? At $59.00, it’s a
fine barga n.
G. CANON IV WITH 50MM F/1.9 SERE-
NAR: Many say that the IV series, the
last of the small-bodied, bottom-loading
Canons, was the finest of its type ever
made. That’s a matter of personal pref-
erence but the three-stage multifocal
range-viewfinder and the thread which
accepts threaded Leica and Canon
lenses make the 1952 model a top
$59.50 bargain at Unredeemed Pledge
Sales Co. Since some collapsible f/1.9
Serenars were more unsharp in the cor-
ners than others at full aperture, test
carefully.
H. KODAK MEDALIST Il WITH 100MM
F/3.5 EKTAR: Still yearn for the 214 x
34% pictures on 120 roll film? Profes-
sionals who have owned Medalist II's
since their inception in 1952 guard them
with their lives. The separate split-image
rangefinder is critically accurate, the
focusing mount one of the smoothest
but most rugged double helicals ever
devised. The lens is splendid and
the Flash Supermatic leaf shutter has
speeds from 1 to 1/400 sec. Ours, from
Wall St. Camera Exch., was $140.
I. MINOLTA-35 MODEL Ii: This well
made, interchangeable lens, focal-plane
shutter, 1958 camera seems half Leica,
half Canon and accepts all threaded
Leica and similar lenses. It has speeds
from 1 to 1/500 sec. With a very fine
5 element f/2.8 Rokkor lens, fine com-
bined range-viewfinder it was $19.50 at
Unredeemed Pledge Sales Co.

STILL CAMERA BARGAINS
(Continued from page 164)
J. LEICA Illa: A Leica technician once
remarked to us that mechanically, the
1938 Leica Illa represented a pinnacle
of the E. Leitz art. We think so too. The
pre-World War II Leica is much smaller
in overall size than the Leica IIIC, HIF
and IIIG series and slips easily into
jacket pocket, yet accepts any and all
Leica and similar threaded lenses. It
has an excellently defined rangefinder
separate from the viewfinder. If you’ve
ever dreamed of owning a Leica, the
ila body which cost us but $29 in ex-
cellent condition at Unredeemed Pledge
Sales Co. is a good solution. Don’t get it
with a 50mm Summar lens. Try the
50mm f/3.5 Elmar ($15.00) or for a
fast collapsible, the 50mm f/1.9 Sere-
nar ($25).
K. IKOFLEX Ila WITH 75MM F/3.5 TES-
SAR: This fast-focusing, rugged and re-
liable 214 x 214 twin lens reflex has a
fine, Fresnel-lens-brightened ground
glass, a cut down finder area to elimi-
nate parallax error and completely auto-
matic operation once you’ve lined up
the No. 1 on the paper backing in the
red window. It should have sold better
before it was discontinued in 1952 but
it was overshadowed by another top
ranking German reflex and never got
its due glory. At $70 (we found ours at
Wall St. Camera Exch.) it’s a bargain.
L. ARGUS A WITH 50MM F/4.5 CINTAR:
Shades of our childhood, here’s the
grand old rangefinderless camera that
broke the 35mm camera price barrier
in 1936 at $12.50. It has a plastic body,
self-cocking shutter with speeds from
1 to 1/200 sec. plus B (no sync), plus
a_ two-point-focusing, f/4.5 lens. It
makes an excellent beginner’s camera
and can produce snapshot sized pic-
tures with speed and simplicity. MOD-
ERN found an all-green Argus A for
$3.95 at Unredeemed Pledge Sales Co.
(Most made were black.) A slightly more
advanced A model worth looking for
has a precision focusing mount allowing
you as close as 15 inches.
M. KONICA IIIA WITH 50MM F/1.8 HEX-
ANON: Good rangefinder, fine lens, plus
perhaps the most accurate bright frame,
parallax-correcting viewfinder ever de-
vised make this Konica a desirable cam-
era. Ours, looking as if a roll of film had
never been run through, cost $68.50
at Olden Camera and Lens Co., 1265
Broadway, New York 1, N. Y.
N. CONTESSA 35 WITH 45MM F/2.8
TESSAR: The number of fully enclosed,
collapsible 35s available has dwindled
to almost none. One of the neatest ever
designed was the 1955 Contessa which
also had a first-class, built-in exposure
meter. The lens-rangefinder system was
one of the easiest to use, swiftest focus-
ing, best secondary image units ever
designed. For $29.50 at Unredeemed
Pledge Sales Co. it was a steal.
O. CONTAFLEX | WITH 50MM F/2.8
TESSAR: Want a classic leaf-shutter re-
flex without all the interchangeable-
lens, built-in-meter, cross-coupied-LVS
paraphernalia? The Contaflex | (1958)
has the same good lens, reliable shutter
and splendid viewing system as the
newest Contaflex. Ours, found at Wil-
liam C. Cullen, Inc., 12 Maiden Lane,
New York 38, cost $59.50.—THE END

Manufacturer’s specifications: Welta
Superfekta 214 x 314 twin-lens reflex.
Lens: (taking) 105mm f/3.8 Carl Zeiss
Jena Tessar focusing to 31% ft., aper-
tures to f/22; (viewing) 75mm f/3.8
Weltaskop. Shutter: Compur with speeds
from 1 to 1/250 sec. plus B and T. Fo-
cusing: Waist-level ground-glass focus-

tomatic vertical and horizontal frames.
Other features: Revolving back; drop-in
loading; semi-automatic film counter;
collapsible bellows body; sportsfinder.
Manufacturer: Welta Camera Co., Ger-

Is 214 x 2% the only logical format
for the twin-lens reflex? Do twin-lens
reflexes need to be the large rectangular
boxes they are? Not according to the
manufacturers of the 1935 Welta Super-
fekta. They have designed and produced

New Camera-Art-Form Meets Explosive
Reaction From Critic and Layman Alike!
How Do You Stand on Bill Brandt’s New Book...
“PERSPECTIVE OF NUDES”
Lawrence Durrell says: "Brandt uses the camera as an exten-
sion of the eye—the eye of a poet; he is to photography
what a sculptor is to a block of marble."
Chapman Mortimer says: "Brandt has raised the status of
his art to the level of other arts. He has shown us how to
disregard the taboos of second-rate-ism."

con, to this violent new book. You will be vehement in its defense,
or you will want to tear it to shreds. But you won't fail to recognize
it as a milestone in the development of art in photography. Order
YOU BE THE JUDGE!
A NEW ART-FORM must—by axiom—be prepared for critical reception, with the
force of acceptance or rejection in exact relation te its degree of deviation. It is not
surprising, therefore, that the reaction to Bill Brandt’s new book, “PERSPECTIVE
OF NUDES,” has been explosive.
Yet, the book has stirred a spectacular force in its critical admiration. Lawrence
Durrell and Chapman Mortimer head a distinguished contigent of connoisseurs from
diverse art fields who have acclaimed this work for its poignancy, its power and its
meaning. Vogue Magazine carried pictures from the book in its August Ist issue. The
New York Museum of Modern Art will exhibit Brandt’s works from September 25
to November 12.
In these surreal studies of the nude, Bill Brandt expresses a philosophy of inter-
pretative photography that soars far above the conventional camera-images we have
grown to accept. His nudes inhabit a world of platonic forms. You feel the gnomic
quality that resides in poetry and sculpture. You observe images and shapes, per-
spectives of the figure you never recognized before.
Hailed as the “Matisse of the camera,” Bill Brandt stands alone in his own unique
artistic medium. All who are part of photography, the photographer in the studio,
the art director in an advertising agency, the amateur striving to find new expression
for his creativity—all who are part of photography, whether working in the com-
mercial field or in the realm of fine paintings will find a stirring experience in the
pages of “PERSPECTIVE OF NUDES.” It is an inspirational force, a conversation
piece not to be missed.

HOW FAR
(Continued from page 168)
in an overcoat pocket. The secret? It
folds. Like many popular blind focusing
roll cameras available, it has a collapsi-
ble bellows which springs open at the
touch of a button.
The viewing system is especially in-
genious. Since the negative is not square
it was necessary to devise some mecha-
nism to allow both horizontal and verti-
cal pictures to be made. By grasping
the camera back firmly and twisting it,
both back and bellows can be revolved
from the vertical to the horizontal for-
mat while the camera front remains ver-
tical. The ground glass does not show
you a full-sized viewing image as do
usual 214 x 214 reflexes. By adopting a
shorter focal length for the viewing lens
and operating it on a slightly different
helical thread from the taking lens’, the
designers have been able to reproduce
on a masked 214 x 214 ground glass the
correct proportions of the 244 x 34
negative. And, as you revolve the yg
the viewing mask also changes from
vertical to horizontal.
The camera’s loading and film ad-
vance are commendable. The takeup
and supply film spool chambers swing
outward from the camera body. You
just drop the film in place and as you
close the spool chambers, the spindles
automatically push inward to hold the
film. The first picture must be posi-
tioned in the ruby window on the cam-
era back. After that you simply line up
the film counter number in the counter
window after each shot.
The camera is beautifully finished in
nickel silver and leather, is far sturdier
than you would imagine possible with
a folding construction. Controls work
very smoothly. The built-in hood mag-
nifier is a great help in accurate focus-
ing. Provision has been made for the
camera owner to adjust the focus of the
viewing lens should it become mis-
matched with that of the taking lens.
There are many nice touches which
a casual observer might miss. The
carrying strap has an extremely ingeni-
ous but foolproof method of attaching
to the back of the camera body, yet can
be used in both the horizontal or verti-
cal positions.- All controls—shutter
speeds, aperture, distance, picture num-
ber—are visible from shooting posi-
tion.
In tests the 105mm f/3.8 Tessar
lens produced acceptable sharpness in
the center at £/3.8 with some fall-off
in sharpness at the corners. At f/8
sharpness at the center was acceptable
with little sharpness fall-off at the
edges (less than the fall-off at £/3.8).
There was no overall decrease in sharp-
ness at the smaller apertures.—H.K.
